Hey everyone, I’m generally a lurker on here. I am turning 18 very soon here, and I want to be able to exercise my 2nd amendment right. Unfortunately, the stupid Illinois gun laws require one to be 21 to apply for a FOID (firearm owners identification card), unless one can get a signature from a 21+ year old legal guardian. I don’t wanna have to get a parent signature for my FOID as if I were a damn kid. Moving from Illinois isn’t a real option right now as I still have a lot of school to do, and I am not in a position to leave, financially or otherwise. I am most certainly learning 3D printing, but my question to you all is what can I do to bring about change? Illinois is pretty far gone but what can someone like me, with limited resources and knowledge, do to legally fight for my second amendment right?
