Backlog of Illinois gun owner permits raises call to scrap 'broken' system


Pandemic-exacerbated delays in processing firearm owner and concealed carry license applications are raising frustration and renewing calls by some to change a broken system.
Tom Holmes, owner of Military Surplus Outlet in Jacksonville, sees gun ownership as a constitutional right and questions why something like the Illinois Firearm Owner Identification card is needed to confirm that right. Illinois is just one of four states in the nation to have such a requirement.
Here in Illinois, we have privileges, not rights, Holmes said.
Regardless, the state is required to approve or deny applications for firearm owner cards within 30 days; for concealed carry permits, the time limit set by statute is 90 days. On average, the process is taking 122 to 155 days.

“I think they’re operating outside the law, that’s pretty obvious,” Pearson said. “It’s a real problem for everybody concerned. So I think they want to solve this problem. We want to solve this problem. So we have to move forward some way or another.”
 
Pearson said there aren’t many other remedies other than suing the state. Several lawsuits are pending.
 
In one lawsuit filed in federal court in July 2020, plaintiffs sued over the delays. They’ve since requested an injunction. While the state has motioned for some plaintiffs to be removed from the case citing they’ve received their cards, Pearson said other impacted gun owners have signed on. ....
