I would hold tight and wait it out. I have a “less then stellar” background from some mistakes I made in my younger and dumber years. I have never had a problem with FOID. Matter of fact, I passed a background check 4 years ago to work for the Federal Government, and recently passed the background check to be EMS on a County Sherriff’s Department Search and Rescue Team. The Search and Rescue check did raise a couple questions that I answered truthfully. One week later I got a call from the Sherriff saying welcome aboard.
