I’m wanting to purchase a fire arm in Illinois and my FOID application was denied. I have no history with felonies, drugs or mental health.
Did you receive any specific reason for the denial of your FOID application?

No. I’m can only assume it was from an Alford Plea. Years ago my girlfriend hit me first and I hit her back. I took the plea and was fined $*
