(WAND) – Illinois police recently opened their fourth firearms identification kiosk (FOID) so people can apply for and renew their FOID card and concealed carry license.
Metro East now has a kiosk located at District 11 headquarters to help people who do not have access to Internet devices or are experiencing difficulties online.
