I was watching committee testimony of the NRA lobbyist for Illinois Todd Vandermyde and he said there is an estimated 70,000 person back log.
I think it was testimony in regards to increased fees for the FOID. Because the anti-gun faction is talking about "New York style" gun regulations in light of Moore.
Anyway, there is an entire thread about this at IllinoisCarry.com:
