THE ILLINOIS STATE POLICE IS LOOKING TO BROADEN THE USE OF "CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER" REPORTS WHEN IT COMES TO REVIEWING FOID CARD APPLICATIONS. 

THE I-S-P HAS FILED AN EMERGENCY RULE TO MAKE BETTER USE OF PRIOR CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER REPORTS FILED ABOUT A PERSON WHO IS NOW SEEKING A FOID CARD. PREVIOUSLY, THE STATE POLICE WAS LIMITED SAYS DIRECTOR BRENDAN KELLY.

KELLY SAYS THEY WANT TO MAKE THE RULE PERMANENT. REVIEW OF THE PROCESS COMES AFTER THE HIGHLAND PARK MASS SHOOTING WHERE THE SUSPECT WAS INVESTIGATED FOR BEING A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER TO HIMSELF OR OTHERS. 

PREVIOUSLY, A CLEAR AND PRESENT DANGER REPORT ONLY SERVED TO REVOKE THE FOID OF A CURRENT CARD HOLDER.
