I am planning to move to Texas in the next two years. In September 2013, I was voluntarily admitted to a hospital for mental health reasons. The specific reason is depression. I lost my FOID card and in the letter, it said that I had to wait 5 years until I could reapply for a FOID card. When I move to Texas, will I still have to wait until the 5 year period has expired even though I will not be an Illinois resident? From what I understand, under federal law, I would still be eligible to purchase a firearm because I was not involuntarily admitted. So what I am basically asking is that will Illinois law still apply even though I am no longer an Illinois resident but a Texas resident? I also found out that after the 5 year period has passed, you still have to get an Illinois-Licensed Psychiatrist to "sign off" on you. If this is true, how would I resolve this being I would no longer reside in the state of Illinois? Am I "stuck in Illinois" until I can get my FOID reinstated? Thank you for your time.
