The entire process takes about 60 days from the time your correct application was first received at the FFLC.
In the vast majority of states, a person does not need a permit simply to own a gun. A person must be 18 or 21 years old to buy a gun. Generally, laws forbidding the carrying of handguns include limited exceptions.
Unless specifically exempted by statute, any Illinois resident who acquires or possesses firearms, firearm ammunition, a stun gun or a taser within the state of Illinois must have in their possession a valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card or Illinois Concealed Carry License (ILCCL) issued in their name.
There is no limit on the number of firearms you may buy. Chicago might have something that is Chicago-only, but probably can't be enforced.
+Do I have to have a FOID card to shoot? Yes, unless you have a state issued ID from a state that does not require a FOID card or are under the direct supervision of a FOID card holder that is at least 21 years old.
A) Duration. A FOID Card shall expire 10 years from the date of issuance. 1) The date the FOID Card becomes active within the Department's online FOID/CCL system is designated as the date of issuance for purposes of this Part.
The circumstances depend whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor. Illinois law is in line with federal law in stating you can't get a FOID card if you have either a felony conviction or a domestic violence offense on your record.
