addgin asked this question on 3/20/2000:

Do you loose your gun card(Illinois) automatically if convicted of domestic violence and how long if so, can you get it back?

Paul157 asked for clarification on 3/20/2000: Are you talking about a concealed weapons permit? If your not, please explain. Are you refering to a felony charge and conviction? Is there a order of protection involved?

Paul157 gave this response on 3/22/2000:

I know of no law that requires you to give up your firearms due to a misdemeanor domestic violence conviction. I know of no laws that require you to give up a "gun card" as you call it.

I do know of laws that prevent you from possessing firearms while orders of protection are in place. I have seen conditions of bond that stipulate that the defendant must not possess firearms.

Bottom line is I suggest you contact Jim Ryan, Illinois Attorney General, at the following:
