Re: Denied Illinois FOID card

Listen to me, here’s my suggestion. If you live in Illinois
and you know you need mental health care, DON’T GO. I know
you are trying to do the right thing and go get help, but
Illinois legislators, will take your guns away. Personally I
think it is stupid for them to take your guns away, because,
once the word gets out to all the people who need mental
health treatment, no one will go get help. They will be
afraid that they will lose their guns. Bottom line, Illinois
will have a lot of people out there who wont get help,
because they will be to scared to get help. Guess what now we
have a bunch of mental case’s not getting help carrying guns.
Stupid laws Illinois have, doesn’t anyone ever think before
they pass a law like that?
