There is a new study that mentions that Illinois is one of the states that can actually "take your gun away".

This is a controversial topic that I'll make no apologies for. If you're curious about where the most heavily-armed county is in America, you don't need to travel far. It's right across the border from Illinois.

Thieves are on the loose after they broke into Pelcher's Shooters Supply Gun Store in Lansing, Illinois and stole everything but firearms.

Illinois is the only state in the region that requires a Firearm Owner Identification (FOID) card to possess a firearm and/or buy ammunition (the constitutionality of that requirement being challenged at the State Supreme Court).

The Illinois State Police (ISP) are well aware of the incredible backlog of Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Cards (FOID) and concealed-carry licenses (CCL) waiting to be renewed, and because of that, they've given a 150-day extension to those of us who've seen our cards expire.

The Illinois State Police say the average time for FOID (Firearm Owners Identification) card processing is 116.35 days. FOID cards are supposed to be processed within 30 days.
