I'm going to be buying a new shotgun before long, and so I mailed off my application for a FOID last Friday. I know that with the gun regulation FUD that was going around, they were pretty swamped with new applications and it was taking over a month to process. Apparently that's starting to taper off a lot though.

So I was wondering if anyone knew about how long I should expect to wait to get my foid.

I think it took me about 6 weeks to receive mine. The funny thing is that I still haven't bought a handgun yet.

Thought I'd give an update on this. I mailed it off May 31 which was a Friday, meaning it probably got put into a processing queue on June 3 or 4. It showed up in the mail today, June 20.

So the processing isn't taking so long anymore.

Six weeks is the longest I've heard of - about a month seems pretty typical to me.

That's good news. When I was getting mine a couple of years ago, wait times were at or beyond 90 days.
