Typical Fergus My guy is a long way from you, google your local instructors or keep an eye on facebook.
I know my buddy that's a CO and some of his work friends are throwing a fit about that being changed. The other day I was having a pretty heated, from them, discussion about that. I laughed the whole time. I don't really seeing them changing the regulations regarding carrying concealed while hunting though. They'll try and say it'll make people shoot deer with handgun instead of bow or something. Don't make much difference to me either way were I live I do it anyway along with a lot of people around. I'm almost always armed when headed out to woods.
w00t!! Just checked my application today and it's now changed to "Active" status. According to the illinoiscarry.com site most guys are getting them within a week or so after changing to "Active" status. For reference for those still waiting, I submitted 2/8 with fingerprints and was application #47,2XX.
That's cool Matt, I gotta get my butt in gear! Just wondering why you say that you'll avoid Cook Co??

I just had to show my hunter safety card and give prints, $75 later I have a permit good for 10 years. I hate Illinois.
just wanted to pile on. I hate Illinois. Communist craphole. How is it that one county runs an entire state? Can't hardly wait for my transfer to come through.
Guns have two enemies: rust and politicians. Here in MA liberals constantly coming up with dumbass laws and make criminals out of good citizens. Remember in november
