Source: Chicago TribuneDec.儲存 31--State officials said Monday they expect the online system for submitting applications for concealed carry permits to be fully operational when it opens to gun owners Sunday.The website was in beta testing in the days leading up to the launch, said Illinois State Police Col. Marc Maton, who oversaw the project.State police also are working on a paper application process that they hope to have completed by July.The permitting program was "built from the ground up under a six-month time frame," Maton said at a news conference previewing the online application system. "Our task has been monumental, but our primary goal was to meet the requirements of the statute by having an online application process in place."Gun owners who want to apply for a concealed carry permit online will find the application portal on the State Police website.Applicants who are Illinois residents must have a firearm owner's identification card, 16 hours of concealed carry training, electronic copies of training certificates, a driver's license or state identification card, a recent photo, fingerprints and 10 years worth of address history handy to complete the application. The process will requ迷你倉re applicants to obtain an Illinois digital ID -- which will allow them to sign the application electronically -- and pay a fee of at least $150.Officials already are processing applications from about 900 firearms instructors who were allowed to apply early as part of the testing process.The application -- portions of which require use of the software platform Java -- can be completed in less than 10 minutes, "if all the technical requirements have been met," Illinois State Police Lt. Matt Davis said. "The application has been purposely designed to be simple and intuitive."Once an application has been submitted, local law enforcement officials will have the opportunity to object, Maton said.State police anticipate receiving about 300,000 to 400,000 applications, based on the experiences of other states and the number of FOID cardholders in Illinois.As of Monday there were about 2,200 applications in stages of near completion and 10,000 people had obtained the digital ID that is required as part of the application process.kgeiger@tribune.comTwitter @kimgeigerCopyright: ___ (c)2013 the Chicago Tribune Visit the Chicago Tribune at .chicagotribune.com Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage
