I.S.P. states they are following the letter of the law. I guess they failed to see along with state elected officials.
" The 2nd Amendment is the part of the United States Constitution. Which means the Constitution is the law of the land. The 2nd Amendment is a right not a privilege. A right given by our founding father's. While Illinois has a ban on firearms the ban is unconstitutional and is to have a ccw law in place with in the time frame that will be handed by this court. The right shall not be infringed upon in any way shape or form."
Diane Pamela Wood 7th Circuit Appeals Judge Chicago.
Yet Illinois politicians and the Governor put and sign a law that still infringes upon the right to carry.

First Illinois is a shall Issue state which means if you meet the criteria they have to issue a CCW. However on the application they ask the same questions that is on a FOID ( Firearms Owner Identification Card) but they use your entire criminal history past the 5 year criteria.
The local and county police can object to your application which is a violation of the 2nd amendment and places an infringement. The state then submits it to the Governors review panel which never informs you that there is an objection and tells you a date and time to appear to admit evidence on your behalf to show why you object to the objection hence violating your right. The state send you this letter and tells you to file an appeal for administrative review. But they fail to tell you how many days you have to file. Worse yet a administrative review is suppose to be done by the director of I.S.P. not a judge making you spend 400.00 to file and even then you can not admit evidence on your behalf. Thus spending another 2grand on a lawyer to bring it back to court as a man from Skokie has done. Worse even yet they don't even tell you why you were denied. The state of Illinois has violated a federal mandate of the shall issue law by using the May Issue laws set forth by the federal government. People like our reader have multiple CCW from other states and even carries a professional licenses in the state of Illinois and other states such as Louisiana, Wisconsin, and New York to carry a firearm.

So now why is Illinois violating a court order I'll tell you why because they were told for every 1 CCW approved they have to deny 2. Is this true we don't know we can only speculate because the Director Hiram Grau has not confirmed nor denied this fact or fiction.
If you have been denied your CCW please use the address listed below the fee is $2,000.00 and make sure you file your $400.00 administrative review.
If you want to file a fee waiver and are a Cook County resident you must make between 15,000-19,000 a year or you will not qualify.
