So you just fill out an application and you automatically get your gun? No pal it
doesn't work like that. You fill out an application they look it over and they tell
you yes or no within 30 days. They told you no. You appealed -- they told you no
again. It's over.

That is ridiculous. First it was your wife that screwed you over, now it is a cop who
didn't like your father that caused them to deny you. You need help pal. Get a
lawyer before you get into real trouble.

Now I'm the problem as well as anyone else who doesn't agree with your "Facts and
Laws." Slow down and look at yourself.

If you don't get help you will meet a lot more cops that have guns. Nothing can be
done to help you here. If it makes you feel better to vent your frustration on this
board please go ahead.

One other possibility is to move to a state that does not have FOID cards like
Arizona. You can buy a gun from a private party in many states like AZ with no permit
or application at all. Just don't take back to Illinois or you will be arrested on
felony charges.
