[badhoopty]

i cant find anywhere where it says 'optional' on the app aside from the first 5 digits having x's through them.

if you live on 123 fake st. type the word "Street" in instead of "st."

birthday 00/00/0000

Fill it out on the State Police website, print it and mail it in.


You will get it back a hell of allot faster than hand written.

[Die-Laughing]

ok.. just put it in then. I'm looking at it right now. I printed one out because I have to renew.

for those that need to renew.. its the same process as getting a new foid card. just do the form and pay the $10

mine is not letting me fill it out online.. I had to print it and then write on it.

edit: i see that there is a "Fill-able" and "non-fillable"

[jetboat]

put your soc on it... otherwise it will delay processing while they check you out.

[Die-Laughing]

FYI Jason.. on the fillable form.. they will only let you fill in the last 4 digits of your SSN.

i was able to fill mine out online, the tricky section is the county, which is actually a drop down menu. i spent awhile trying to enter 'cook' and it wouldnt let me until i noticed the little drop down arrow.

also it only lets you fill out the last 4 digits of your ssn, so i feel a little better.

gonna try to get the time to hit walgreens tomorrow and get my pic taken, then send this damn form off!

If you have to make sure your cronies are there, what does that tell you.

Just saw this, man your either a mobster or a politician. Mobsters you can trust.

[BAD 1]

Just checked FOID application. Question 2, have u ever been convicted of a felony? Yes, i would not be approved. I thought it was in the last 10 years. I can appeal it.

for picture, you can take the pic yourself and print it. As long as it is your head/shoulders and the proper size it works. They dont use that photo for the license, they use the one from your DL.

[Die-Laughing]

Ok, I got mine all filled out.. ready for sending. I have 5months till mine expires. I heard it may or may not take a while considering everyone is doing it.

I also got me 2x sequential numbered PSA stripped lowers on the way! Thanks alot Trey!

[jetboat]

what did they run you a piece?

Ive got a 7.62 upper I really should sell but, afraid I wont be able to replace it.

I would have bought one but, he wouldn't separate them. $600 for the pair. Maybe I can make a couple bucks off of one of them someday.

[jetboat]

$300 each for stripped?!?!?!?

[Die-Laughing]

Yeah, I was one of the crazies. I got fired up thinking I wouldn't be able to get my hands on an AR so, I made a little investment with some of the profits I made off of other crazies lately. Who knows, I could build one in the future and I could sell one for more than I paid. Or, I could take a small hit. No biggie. I'm a gambling man. We'll see.

Check out gunbroker.com for AR lowers, then tell me who's crazy. I was watching an auction for a single stripped lower that I wanted last night that ended up going for $500. Complete lowers are going anywhere from $750-$1250

I found mine on AR15.com classifieds. They are out there but, you gotta pay for them. You don't have to but, you might not have the option someday. Maybe you'll be able to buy them for $100 in 2 weeks, I dont know.

NY seals 1st state gun laws since Newtown massacre - Yahoo! News

There ya go... NY did pretty much what Illinois was trying to do. I will assume the NRA, etc. will raise lawsuits to force it to go up the chain of judicial review to determine if it is Constitutional.

[jetboat]

I'm sure the lawsuits have already been filed in NY. Even the law makers in the state were saying it only makes criminals out of the everyday citizen.

I guess maybe its time to advertise that ar I don't want... I'm into it for about $650, by what I'm seeing, I should get $1800+ for a complete rifle.

[Die-Laughing]

I bet you could. I sold my less desirable ruger mini 14 for $1525.. Had $700 in it. I sold 4 high cap mags for $425.. Had $175 in them.

Get on gunbroker! You can get more there I feel compared to AR15.com

[JHTreyIII]

Rick, is it pretty easy to sell on there? I read up on their website and it didn't appear to be too challenging. I want to sell my Kimber and get a baby glock for concealed carry, maybe pick up a few bucks in the tradeoff.
