The Illinois State Rifle Association has begun work to see this ordinance repealed. The association recently started a study of how many Peoria members have had to complete the certificate when purchasing firearm. They argue that the extra security is redundant and even discriminatory, especially considering the already tough gun laws in Illinois.
The work of the ISRA has not gone unnoticed. There is already talk in the police department to reconsider this ordinance as well as an older one that technically bans concealed firearms in Peoria.
