Lost FOID card?

[Vogt_51]

hey guys,
quick question here. i hunt in illinois, and in a couple weeks slug season is coming up. it seems that every time around hunting season, within a month or so, i lose my FOID card. i think its just because i keep it with my hunting stuff, and with bowhunting and scouting or whatever, i end up misplacing it. I currently have a valid FOID card, if they were to check in the database, however, if i did not have one on my person, and got stopped, would would happen do you think? Is it something like driving and not having a license on you, where you could bring a license to the courthouse within X amount of days? Any help is appreciated.

You better start looking a little harder. Yes, the law states that any person in possesion or charge of a firearm, must have in their possesion, a valid and legally obtained firearms owner identification card.

I feel for you, I really do.

I always find things I'm looking for in the last place I look. Start in the last place you would look and it should speed the process up.
