I received my new Firearm Owner’s Identification Card and discovered something I don’t think I have seen before.

There’s a

“CAUTION: This card does not permit bearer to UNLAWFULLY carry or use firearms.”

But, there’s more:

“This does not authorize the carrying of a concealed weapon.”

Really.

As if most gun owners in Illinois that Illinois is one of the few states in the Union that does not grant that privilege to its law abiding citizens.

The new card does have a nifty little hologram in the lower right hand corner. It is much more colorful in the photograph than when I look at it. It must be the flash.
