Re: Denied Illinois FOID card
Posted by Pac 57 on 12/17/07

    Best advice to anyone who has a foid card and goes crazy, just
    don’t go get help; keep your guns. Illinois is one of those
    screwed up states that makes you get a foid card, when their
    own Illinois constitution says you have a right to bare arms
    and it shall not be infringed. Morons in Illinois are violating
    there on laws. Illinois also has a three-day waiting period a
    cool down rule before you can buy another gun. That to me is so
    stupid once you already own a gun. I understand using that rule
    own a first time buyer, but not on someone who already owns
    guns. Illinois has some of the most ignorant lawmakers,
    compared to all of the other states.
