The Illinois State Police have filed emergency amendment to the Firearm Concealed Carry Act that provides an appeal process for rejected applicants.

A rejected applicant will receive a notice of the objection from the Concealed Carry License Review Board, including the reason why it was denied.

The applicant has 10 days to provide evidence to prove their eligibility.

An NBC 5 report last month discovered that county officials have objected to more than 2,600 concealed carry applications this year because the person is believed to be potentially dangerous, but two-thirds of those applications are still going through.
