Gun owners have more questions about the state’s gun ban and registry after the first public hearing hosted by Illinois State Police to get feedback on the rules. The registry opened Oct. 1. The deadline is Jan. 1. Of the 2.4 million Firearm Owners ID card holders in the state, just 24-hundred have registered in the first month. At an unrelated event in Lake Forest Thursday, Pritzker downplayed the 0.1% rate.
Springfield resident Jim Helm, who attended the first hearing with ISP in Springfield about the registry, said he hopes the law gets struck down. The hearing didn’t provide much clarity on the mounting questions.
The next hearing is Friday morning in Chicago. The third and final hearing will be in Caseyville Monday morning.
