14 | concealed carry license to the local law enforcement agency | ||||||
15 | where the person resides. The local law enforcement agency | ||||||
16 | shall provide the licensee a receipt and transmit the concealed | ||||||
17 | carry license to the Department of State Police. If the | ||||||
18 | licensee whose concealed carry license has been revoked, | ||||||
19 | suspended, or denied fails to comply with the requirements of | ||||||
20 | this subsection, the law enforcement agency where the person | ||||||
21 | resides may petition the circuit court to issue a warrant to | ||||||
22 | search for and seize the concealed carry license in the | ||||||
23 | possession and under the custody or control of the licensee | ||||||
24 | whose concealed carry license has been revoked, suspended, or | ||||||
25 | denied. The observation of a concealed carry license in the | ||||||
26 | possession of a person whose license has been revoked, |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | suspended, or denied constitutes a sufficient basis for the | ||||||
2 | arrest of that person for violation of this subsection. A | ||||||
3 | violation of this subsection is a Class A misdemeanor. | ||||||
4 | (h) A license issued or renewed under this Act shall be | ||||||
5 | revoked if, at any time, the licensee is found ineligible for a | ||||||
6 | Firearm Owner's Identification Card, or the licensee no longer | ||||||
7 | possesses a valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card. A | ||||||
8 | licensee whose license is revoked under this subsection (h) | ||||||
9 | shall surrender his or her concealed carry license as provided | ||||||
10 | for in subsection (g) of this Section. | ||||||
11 | This subsection shall not apply to a person who has filed | ||||||
12 | an application with the State Police for renewal of a Firearm
| ||||||
13 | Owner's Identification Card and who is not otherwise ineligible | ||||||
14 | to obtain a Firearm Owner's Identification Card.
| ||||||
15 | (i) A certified firearms instructor who knowingly provides | ||||||
16 | or offers to provide a false certification that an applicant | ||||||
17 | has completed firearms training as required under this Act is | ||||||
18 | guilty of a Class A misdemeanor. A person guilty of a violation | ||||||
19 | of this subsection (i) is not eligible for court supervision. | ||||||
20 | The Department shall permanently revoke the firearms | ||||||
21 | instructor certification of a person convicted under this | ||||||
22 | subsection (i). | ||||||
