<hr>
In 1968, Illinois enacted legislation to promote and protect the health, safety and welfare of the public by providing a system of identifying persons who are not qualified to acquire or possess firearms and firearm ammunition within the State of Illinois. The Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) Act established a practical and workable system to identify persons prohibited by Section 24-3.1 of the "Criminal Code of 1961" as amended, from acquiring or possessing firearms and firearm ammunition. The Illinois State Police was given the responsibility of administering the Act.

There are approximately 1.2 million valid FOID card holders. Approximately 210,000-220,000 applications are processed annually by the Firearms Services Bureau. In 2002, 4,642 applications were denied and 6,926 FOID cards were revoked as a result of the extensive review process which identifies individuals whom are prohibited from possessing or acquiring firearms and firearm ammunition.

All Illinois residents who buy or possess firearms are required by law to have a valid FOID card. FOID applications can be obtained from any firearm's dealer, law enforcement agency, or printed from the Internet. To obtain a FOID card, complete an application and forward it along with a $5.00 fee and a photograph to the Illinois State Police, Firearm Owner's Identification Unit, Post Office Box 19233, Springfield, Illinois 62794-9233.

Thanks for the website because I have a license to carry, but I now live in another county within Pennsylvania. So, I will probably need to update or my information within my current county or apply for a new license. Either way, at least I have a lead as to how to go about getting what I need done. Overall, I have to make sure I am doing things correctly.

Many Thanks,

Myra D. Price

I'm currently a retired Law Enforcement Officer in Florida. With my retired ID and annual qualifications card I can carry concealed in all 50 states and it's territories without a concealed weapons license. This is under HB218 (http://www.ipiu.org/forums/showthread.php?t=34545).

Hey Keith,
How are the CCW Laws in Michigan? I live in California and its a 00000 out here. 2 years wait and roughly $350 in processing fee's.
So, Im trying to find a state that I can get my CCW license through with the least amount of hoops to jump through.
Any feed back you may have I will be greatful.
