Did you know it’s not against the law for police agencies and their officers to lie to the public? It’s not. It’s highly illegal if you lie to the police, but not the other way around. With that in mind, the Illinois State Police wants to let Illinois residents know they they can still register their banned guns after the registration deadline has passed without fear of criminal charges from law enforcement.
Do they also have some great farmland for sale just a few miles off the coast of Lake Michigan as well?
From WICS:
Springfield, Ill. (WICS) — If an Illinois resident did not register their assault weapons by the January 1st deadline, they still can without fear of criminal charges from law enforcement.“ISP does not intend to act against residents who file an endorsement affidavit after January 1, 2024,” Illinois State Police said in an email. “The FOID Portal will remain open and people can submit endorsement affidavits at any time. ISP’s goal is compliance with the law and safety.”
People who fail to register assault weapon could face felony charges. According to the Illinois State Police, over 29,000 residents have registered their assault weapons. That accounts for just over one-percent of all FOID card owners in Illinois.
Guns Save Life’s take: If you register your stuff as a FOID holder after January 1st, 2024, you’re just asking for trouble in your life. Up to and including felony charges, a felony conviction and loss of your firearm ownership rights for life.
Don’t talk to the police. That applies to submitting registration information after the deadline for doing so has passed.
