The Illinois State Police has been knocking on residents’ doors of those without Firearm Owners Identification Cards.
In early February, the Chicago Tribune ran an article listing the crimes for which FOID cards would be revoked, plus the number of such cards by town.
Lake in the Hills had forty-eight, not the highest in McHenry County. (That was McHenry with 111 followed by Crystal Lake at 108 and Woodstock at 83 and Algonquin at 76.)
Lake in the Hills Police reported visiting a home about FOID cards on July 27, 2020.
Here’s information about what the LITH Police Department has done more recently in the effort:

Disarm all White men.
That’s the new cruddy credo in Illinois.
So they can track all these felons down and revoke their FOID but can’t process them for legal gun owners.
9 months and counting waiting on renewal.
VOID the FOOD
FOID f’ing auto correct
Void the FOID?!? WTF?
While I initially had opposing thoughts of police going up and checking on these people, comments/people like The Mrs have me thinking its maybe its not such a bad idea. T
here is absolute responsibility in firearm ownership and thoughtful home ballistics.
If anything, part of FOID registration should require some type of testing/classes similar to a drivers license or CC permit.
Crime shouldn’t be the only reason to revoke a FOID card.
It’s not taking away run rights, it’s weeding out the idiots.
So When the Hell are they going to send out the ones that have been applied for months ago or renewed?
is this what they are doing and not doing the processing of applications!!! ?????
I would like answers who is minding the STORE?
Time to call the State REP to do some investigating… find out whats going on …
+1 The Mrs….

Firearms ownership is a right guaranteed by the Constitution.
Using your logic, it would OK for the State to require literacy tests to stop idiots from exercising their constitutionally guaranteed right to vote.
Billy Bob talking about literacy?
Stop it.
Clearing a lot of idiots don’t vote–as exemplified by the non voters storming the capital.
There is no known correlation between literacy and the ability to form opinions about how local/state/federal policy should be shaped.
There is, however, a direct correlation between a legal owner who has no clue how to handle a firearm and the social dangers that presents.
I know many FOID owners who would not be able disengage their own loaded firearm… rifle owners trying to load a 39 into their 51… people who think there’s no danger in shooting their spray shells at the staircase if an intruder comes up when their baby’s room is right next door… people in this town carrying loaded EDCs inside bars.
The list goes on.
These people directly endanger the lives of those around them without proper education.
If they’re not going to go out and get it themselves, it should be required.
I don’t personally know you, but I have the feeling you’d certainly be pissed off if you were an accidental victim of of these idiots.
Free speech is the first constitutional right… without the educational of knowing better, one would think that yelling “bomb!” on a packed airplane is ok.
Are you trying to be ‘ironic’ with your interesting use of words, or has your auto-correct been possessed by demons?
I’m having a little bit of trouble deciphering your posts, but I’ll give it a shot.
There is a very high correlation between literacy and knowing who/what you are actually voting for. You don’t want to be dependent upon someone else telling you what the ballot says-that’s why there are laws requiring that ballots be printed in braille and a bunch of other languages.
I’m not sure I know what a 39 or a 51 is. Are you possibly referring to 7.62×39 (Russian) and 7.62×51 NATO cartridges? That’s a odd way of referring to them, and one I have never seen before. Since the 7.62×39 cartridge is both skinnier and shorter, it probably would not fire in a rifle chambered for 7.62×51, but bad things would most likely happen if it did.
IDK what “spray shells” are. If you are referring to shotgun shells, the pattern doesn’t spread out nearly as much as it does in the movies – especially at home defense distances.
It is already against the law to carry a loaded gun into a bar in this state.
Recent SCOTUS decisions have applied a strict scrutiny standard to firearm restrictions, so I doubt if your proposal would pass constitutional muster, especially with the newest additions to the Court.
Free speech may be the first constitutional right, but it’s the 2nd Amendment that guarantees all constitutional rights.
People like “Lakewood Resident” should do their virtue signally on the red line south of Chinatown.
That poster is as stupid as they come. The person’s stupidity is rather staggering.
Is Lakewood Resident Steve Reick?
