Well, it took 1 week to get my FOID card. It could of been because I had one earlier, but still seemed pretty fast. So now I am legal, and ready to by ammo. HA!

They really changed the look of the card I see. Very different than the last one I had.

Man, that was quick, it took me almost 2 months, but that was earlier in the year...i guess they finally caught up...Yep your ready to go...buy that ammo!!!

[Pannie Popper]

Thats crazy. Supposedly, the last I heard the ISP is 49,000 FOID applications behind. You're lucky.

[bill b]

Lucky you are. My wife applied back in March, it took 3 months. Bill

[wsj_outdoorsman]

Mrs.wsj still does not have her's after a 3 month wait. Got mine and they were mail together.

[windycityangler52]

hey mark,you must know someone in springfield.i never had one in less than two months.

All the apps were stacked in a nice neat pile, on the desk, in chronological order.

All the apps fell over onto the floor.

Oh crap, said the intern.

He/she looked around and then quickly shoved them all altogether and placed them into a nice neat pile on the desk.

He/she looked around again. Whew.

He/she then continued with the first app on the top of the pile.

Lucky Mark

Mine have never been more than Thirty days to come.
But that could be because I have a Security Clearance of Top Secret.
The State checked me every Two years.
I don't know how long they last but mine is good to 2021.

I still can't believe that you need a foid card to buy ammo. I understand buying a gun, but ammo? Maybe I'm old fashioned, but it seems like way to much government regulation to me. I just wait and buy all my ammo in Indiana or Michigan when I'm passing thru on principal. Yeah, I know I'm being stubborn....

[Mark Komo]

Its a pretty fancy looking card. Maybe I am not a "person of interest" HA!

No big deal. With a firearm purchase one fills out the necessary forms. But with ammo, no info is taken. The sales person just checks your exp., date & that's it. Bill.

The check for my FOID card was cashed on 2/19.

Anybody remember what their turnaround time was after the state cashed their check?

[reeldealoneill]

What good is ammo without a shooter

[team danjer]

Sending a cashiers check really speeds things up most of the time.

[Lucky1]

Does anyone know if they cash the check after the FOID is approved?

[Bulldawg]

They cash as soon as they can. Fee is nonrefundable, why hold on to it.

[Lucky1]

ok, thanks buuldawg

Update on FOID process: My girlfriend sent her FOID Application in 4 weeks and 3 days ago today. She received her card in the mail yesterday. Thats pretty dang close the 30days allowed

[Lucky1]

I got mine in the mail yesterday. Turnaround time was approximately 30 days.

[keithjab]

Exactly 30 days to get approved, nothing like cutting it close to the cutoff. One week later arrived in the mail. They must be getting the process down.
