Illinois has some interesting ideas on what to do moving forward in their state. Well, what they call moving forward, anyway.
It seems that the Firearm Owners Identification Card that all potential gun buyers have to possess in the state is about to undergo a few changes, at least if some folks in the state get their way. In fact, the changes include a doubling of the price as well as cutting the time such a card is good for in half, thus amounting to a four-fold increase for having a FOID for the same period of time.
Needless to say, gun rights activists in the state aren’t taking this by sitting on their duffs.
One Illinois gun advocate is speaking out against the proposed changes to the gun control bill, Senate Bill 1966.
David Kemp is the owner of Tombstone Gun Range and Training Center in Marion, Ill. For seven years, he has serviced thousands of gun owners in Illinois. Kemp is critical of the proposed changes to current gun laws. “I’m very frustrated, it never seems to end. It’s always one thing on top of another it’s always targeted at law abiding citizens,” Kemp said.
