Illinois –-(Ammoland.com)- Hundreds of individuals who applied for an IL Concealed Carry License were denied by the Concealed Carry License Review Board without the board offering an opportunity for applicants to address the board or offer evidence on their own behalf.
Letters went out to applicants informing them they denied because the board determined they were a danger to themselves or others but did not state what circumstances or evidence was used as a basis for these denials.
Some denials have even been proven to be cases of mistaken identity.
IllinoisCarry, on behalf of our members, is a plaintiff in a legal challenge against the Concealed Carry License Review Board for denying licenses to individuals without due process.
We want to be prepared with a list of our member or supporters who were denied if and when the court requires us to provide it. If you have been denied without any notification of the nature of the objections or an opportunity to respond to the board on your own behalf, please reply to this email alert with the following info:
- Name
- Address on license application
- License application number
- Date of denial letter
- If applicable, court and case number of individual case challenging denial
A copy or scan of the denial letter you received would be ideal, as it would contain most of the relevant information. Please understand we may need to provide this information to the State and/or the court and identify you as members of Illinois Carry, as this may be necessary to the extent you may want to share in any relief that the court orders in our case.
If the court rules in our favor, it will be entirely up to each member whether they want to participate in the ruling.

The IllinoisCarry forum was started in April 2004. The idea was that Illinois needed a central location to communicate ideas and information regarding 2nd Amendment issues in Illinois. There are many organizations in Illinois working to protect our 2nd Amendment Rights. Working with these groups IllinoisCarry has become the central location for information and Action Alerts. IllinoisCarry will not endorse political candidates. We simply provide information so voters can make informed decisions. Our goal is to join the other 48 states that allow their citizens to carry concealed firearms. We encourage you to register on our forum and join the fight for your 2nd Amendment Rights in Illinois.

Okay, ladies and gentleman, if you really want to force Illinois hand it takes thousands of complaints.My CC objection has been since October 1,2015.The asshole responsible is Cook county Sheriff Tom Dart. He has 27 people reviewing every CC application and objects to trivial nonsense ! He is without a doubt violating Federal Law but the one the Feds will handle is the { Police Misconduct Statute }.There are over 5700 objections pending as of today October 17,2016.I am personally going to sue him as Sheriff and individually for a large dollar amount next week.I am no lawyer but I… Read more »
I received my Concealed Carry License . So once you get that letter . Your License will arrive promptly afterward . Did a little research and it appears that the Cook County Sheriff has the most objections to licenses . Let’s hope the sheriff is aware that his is an elected poisition . I say next election the good people of cook county show the Sheriff that we will not support an anti gun law enforcement officer in the county which has the city with the most murders in the country .72 homicides in June . Where the heck is… Read more »

Hey everyone, thank you for all of your posts. This is the first post I’ve ever made and it’s only because Illinois sucks. I received the 30 day extension letter more than 30 days ago. I’ve never been arrested….ever. My ex filed an order of protection when we were going through our divorce about 5 1/2/ years ago, but we didn’t even go in the court room. We signed a statement that we’ll get a long.. So there was no order of protection. Why can’t we get everyone on this list and do something? Is there an attorney that can… Read more »
