I live in IL I am also a member of the ISRA and NRA. The FOID has been challenged 3 times in the past. One was shot down in the IL Supreme Court and was left there. The other two were shot down by Fed appeals Courts and left there. At present there is no action pending on the IL FOID by either the ISRA or NRA. It is a matter of money, the ISRA does not have the $$$ to start another appeal, and they cannot get a commitment from the NRA. So it looks like the FOID is going to stay. Mine will run out next year at this time. I will be 81 yrs old, so I may not even renew it. The FOID is done now strictly on line no paper work. Back log at this time is about 3-4 months after applying.
