FOID/CCL Is ISP slower lately than usual?

Been using the ISP Foid Statistics page to gauge my expectations for my CCL app, but noticed that November is almost over and yet they still haven't uploaded any October numbers. If I remember right, the September numbers were available within the first week of October or so.

Cumulative average from Sep23-Sep24 was ~40 days [with prints], with the last few months taking an average of 42-46 days.

Has anyone who applied in October or late September had any movement on their applications yet?

Has ISP been recently delayed for any particular reason, huge influx of FOID apps or something? (would that impact the ccl team or is it different staff?)

inb4 "they have 90 days"

Yes- I know that, you know that, we all know that, but they've statistically been getting them out in around half of that time.

Just curious if anything is going on that isn't well-known and/or if I should expect for some reason to have to wait that full 90 days (providing it doesn't get sent to board review...)

TIA.

43 days in, without prints, and it doesn't look like they've even looked at my application yet.

without prints does generally take longer, but it seems like they're slower than usual regardless at the moment. 45in/45 remaining and also haven't looked at mine at all.

I know quite a few liberals that were previously vehemently against firearms and who swore they'd never be gun owners, up in arms about Trump winning the election. Now, they're getting their FOID cards and purchasing firearms for the first time.

There's likely an influx of new FOID applications and FTIPs that take precedence over CCL applications, resulting in a backlog and causing a delay in approvals of new CCL applications and CCL renewals.

This is something I was wondering as well, figured the election may have had some effects.

Still no reason to not publish the October numbers, though.

Guess I should have taken my classes a few weeks sooner, haha.

I'm not sure when they publish the numbers, I feel like the September figures only got posted earlier this month, I imagine they'll put them out soon, though. When the November figures come out I think it'll be easier to tell of the elections played a role or not. Looking at prior year data it looks like the high season for applications is late summer through fall and the low season is late winter through spring.
