Hey Illinois - Get Ready for $500 FOID Cards !

JUSTINL · 11-06-2002, 09:16 AM

With the new Attorney General in Illinois being Lisa Madigan (D) - we can expect our Firearm Owner Identification Card fees to potentially go up to $500.

Ouch. <img src=icon_smile_angry.gif border=0 align=middle>

Not only the attorney general, but the new governor as well. there is a sign close to my house that says, "Enjoy your last hunting season, thanks Blagojevich"

Shoot straight and shoot often.

Oh man you're kidding me!! Glad to be a Missourian and have a new senator who got an A rating from the NRA. Sorry Illinois boys

Sounds like it is time for the MILLION HUNTER MARCH. I am from Missouri but if someone can organize it,I will gladly come march with you.

Thats why I have long been a supporter of a new state.........South Illinois.

Cougar Mag,

Would it surprise you to know that, while Blagojevich carried the city of Chicago, he got stomped in the collar counties?

He won the election because he did better down-state than Ryan did. "South Illinois" was where the election was won, which REALLY hacked me off.

BLAGOJEVICH. His name sounds like he might have a little communist blood in him. Do the hunters,fisherman,trappers,gunowners,etc. in Illinois have time to vote, well if you dont, I think you should find time the next time around if its not to late already. I live in MO. and we elected an NRA A rated senator this year and I dont think it would have been possible if not for the sportsmen and sportswomen of this state. If you DONT VOTE DONT COMPLAIN. I am not trying to offend anyone, just stating the facts.

not only a attorney general and gov. but also controling numbers in the state house and senate. we just have to wait and see but i've made plans if they start outlawing guns and seasons my guns will be resting down in tx with my family and the ones i'm not real attached to will be sold for a fair price on the south side of chicago

another thing that bugs me is when calf. was in the big legislative battles a couple of yrs. ago the nra was all over it but with a election like this one in ILL. i never heard a word from them what's up with that

Hey Bobd are you saying that the Republicans are as big a thief as your demrat idols Slick Willy? Join the NRA and help yourself or else don't cry when you are without the right to have and keep guns.
