The ABC7 I-Team has been tracking delays of firearm credentials for more than a year now. Now, the state of Illinois has a plan to fix the problem.Nearly 20,000 Cook County residents are walking around with revoked firearm owner's identification cards, with illegal guns presumably in their homes.Cook County Sheriff's police told Illinois legislators Thursday that "manpower" issues are the main reason why the revoked cards are still in the hands of potentially dangerous people.
The Highland Park mass shooting and gun violence across the state has brought the taskforce's mission into a sharper focus. "There are so many out there. We don't have enough manpower to actually retrieve everything the way that we would like to at this time," Jackson said, adding that sheriff's police are working with State Police to fund extra teams to go out and retrieve the FOID cards.The Cook County Sheriff's office said of the nearly 20,000 with revoked cards, a little over 1,800 are subjects of "clear and present danger" reports compiled by the Illinois State Police.
