167% jump in FOID card applications compared to 2017.
2.2 mil IL residents with FOID's, almost doubled since last decade.
Concealed carry licenses have swelled from 90,301 in 2014 to 343,299 in 2020.

This is IL, one of a few states that have a FOID card, where "new" owners can be more easily counted. Most states do not require an ID for possession.
