Have you heard the one about the $1,000,000 FOID insurance?
No, it's not a joke. It's Illinois House Bill 687

ISRA tracks state legislation and has lobbyists on the ground in Springfield.

One bill that is getting a lot of attention is HB 687, which would be a $1,000,000 insurance policy required of FOID card holders. Outrageous? You bet. One can only wonder at the motivations for introducing legislation like that.

Our lobbyists are aware of this and other potentially infringing legislation, as well as bills that would be breakthroughs for Illinois Gun Owners, like bills introducing Family and Personal Protection to Illinois. So far, this bill, HB 687, has not progressed far enough to warrant more than vigilance

Why not force booze drinkers to buy insurance, they create more problems than gun owners.

They probably will.

The writing is on the wall.
