The Illinois State Police (ISP) are well aware of the incredible backlog of Illinois Firearm Owners Identification Cards (FOID) and concealed-carry licenses (CCL) waiting to be renewed, and because of that, they've given a 150-day extension to those of us who've seen our cards expire.
An early weekend accident involving a Belvidere man could have been deadly, leading to IL State Police remind drivers to move over and to not drink and drive.
The Illinois State Police say the average time for FOID (Firearm Owners Identification) card processing is 116.35 days. FOID cards are supposed to be processed within 30 days.
