Normal, IL, USA / www.cities929.com Apr 29, 2021 | 12:28 PM (The Center Square) – The Illinois State Rifle Association (ISRA) has filed a lawsuit against the Illinois State Police (ISP) for failure to process firearms permit renewal applications within the lawful 30 days, which they call a Second Amendment violation. Holders of expired Illinois Firearms Owners Identification (FOID) cards or Concealed Carry Licenses recently received another 150-day extension because the ISP is still trying to overcome an extensive application backlog. “The FOID card enables you to exercise a fundamental right which is your Second Amendment right, and a right delayed is a right denied,” ISRA Executive Director Richard Pearson said. “Some of these people have been waiting 18 months, a year, two years, 10 months.”
