Got a response one week later. Living in one of the few dictatorships in this country (Illinois) a copy of my FOID card was requested. Since it was starting to get get close to the deadline of 3/31 I called to see if I should send it in priority mail. The phone was answered immediately by the nicest lady possible. She told me just to be sure to leave their note asking for my FOID card on the paperwork they had returned with the request and they would know that I had submitted my requested for concealed carry before the new law went into effect.
