Illinois General Assembly HB3239
Snidely Whiplash
A legend in his own mind.
FIREARMS-CRIM BACKGROUND CHECK
Provides that, if an applicant is
applying for or renewing a Firearm Owner's Identification Card, he or
she must submit evidence to the Illinois State Police that he or she has
completed at least 8 hours of handgun safety training approved by the
Director of the Illinois State Police.
Provides that notwithstanding any
other law to the contrary, each local law enforcement agency shall issue
a firearm permit to an applicant who seeks the purchase of a firearm to
verify the identity of the purchaser and shall complete a full criminal
background check of the applicant that includes obtaining fingerprints
from the prospective firearm purchaser. Provides that each local law
enforcement agency shall keep records of those permits and make them
available to the Illinois State Police through the Law Enforcement
Agencies Data System (LEADS). Provides that the duration of the permit
shall be 10 days after its issuance. Provides that the local law
enforcement agency may deny a permit to purchase a firearm to an
applicant if the agency, in its discretion, believes it is in the
interest of public safety.
I hope those of you who are Illinois residents are in the jurisdiction of pro-2nd amendment Sheriff or Chief of Police.
From the full text of the bill:
In this Section, "local law enforcement agency" means
5 the municipal police department of the municipality in which
6 the applicant for the firearm purchase resides, or if the
7 applicant resides in an unincorporated area, or if no
8 municipal police department exists in the applicant's
9 municipality of residence, then "local law enforcement agency"
10 means the office of the sheriff of the county of the
11 applicant's residence.

Washington Gun Law link
William Kirk, the President of Washington Gun Law, suggests the next step will be to exclude civilian handgun safety trainers from the list of approved trainers for the purpose of renewing FOID cards, a step which California has already taken to further curtail lawful gun owners.
