SPRINGFIELD – The director of Illinois State Police is discussing current red flag laws.
ISP director Brendan Kelly says they have carefully analyzed how they handled the review of a clear and present danger report and issuance of a FOID card to the Highland Park shooting suspect.
During a media briefing, he was asked if any changes to the process are needed.
“Illinois has obviously a comprehensive and fairly rigorous firearms training regime in this state and we are always continuously assessing if there are weaknesses, if there are gaps and what we can do better,” said Kelly.
Kelly stresses that Illinois red flag laws rely heavily on family members and others reporting their concerns about an individual and then cooperating with law enforcement.
