Illinois State Police Seek Compliance Even From The Dead in New Gun Dealer Licensing Scheme

This shit right here is what tore me up for months after my mom passed. Since she lived at my place before her death, they kept sending junk mail to a dead woman for years and man that messed with ya finding that in the mail box each time…how can the FEDS keep her on a mailing list they obliviously SOLD$$$ for medicare users???
ohh and she did not vote dem…so that was out…lol

Obviously. His wife has his email forwarded to her account.

If they have the resources to hound dead people, why can’t they bring in the (live) registered sex offenders who aren’t properly registered? Or check on the revoked FOID holders to ensure they don’t still have their guns if they haven’t submitted their firearm disposition form?

There was something like for the twin towers 10 years after. The towers had their own postal code or post office and they would get piles of the mail even though they postal code was no longer valid .

Just a FYI if you want junk mail to stop (the credit card offers) use https://www.optoutprescreen.com/.

I have not gotten a unsolicited junk mail in close to 10 years now.

“If you can still vote, you can certainly sell guns.”

Well, that explains all of the “Trunk of my car” gun dealers in the ‘hood.

And if you’d like to see what she looks like, it’s pretty much what you would expect :

Kind of interesting the utter lack of diversity in that department, no?

That what I say. If the dead can vote they should have to follow the gun laws just like the living.

Early and often.

Donations? The ‘politicians’ actively entertain the vote of the ‘hood, having meetings and all the rest of the rot…

I think you mean automatic payment. Another paperless method is payment by the bank but the account holder has to authorize each one every time.

Did you seek advice from a lawyer or a CPA? The job of an executor is to settle the estate. That means closing accounts, paying outstanding bills and distributing what’s left to the heirs. Banks must cooperate with executors.

I”m surprised the bank would continue automatic bill payment. There is a reverse problem of living people being declared dead due to a clerical error in the federal government. (Probably Social Security or, maybe, the IRS.) Their lives become impossible because everything gets frozen. In particular, they cannot access money in the bank. Their ATM, credit and debit cards cease working, their checks bounce and the bank won’t let them withdraw cash in person. A hardball way to block future payments would be to drain the account or close it entirely.

My mother is married, and thus has someone to deal with such things in the event of her death. My father however is single and I’m his only child. As such, we set up a POA allowing me to act on his behalf in basically any situation; health care, real estate, personal finances, etc. On top of that he made me a signatory to his checking and savings accounts.

As such, not only can I cancel all services in his name, but I could also simply automatically forward any deposits into his checking to my account, solving many issues.

Auto pay is just too useful to not have it, especially for seniors living independently or semi independently. There are plenty of other ways to solve such problems, including having the elder supply passwords and pin codes to a trusted person, so that in the event of unexpected death that person can stop all paid services.
Where there is a lack of trust, such information can be left with an attorney, allowing whomever becomes the executor of the estate to easily sort such things out.
Where there is trust however, elders should seriously consider granting a conditional power of attorney to a trusted person. It makes everything so much easier, and can actually protect the elder quite a bit if they find themselves struggling with cognitive issues.

Additionally, a will is an absolute must for basically anyone who has any sort of assets at all. Since attorneys frequently hold copies of wills, things like passwords and IDs, the location of valuable assets and cash, and other sorts of information can be addended to a will, again facilitating the work of the executor when the person dies.

Every time I hear of someone who died intestate, and all the problems it causes their family and executor, all I can think is how terribly irresponsible it is to not have a will. I can’t understand nor forgive someone who is so incapable of admitting to the fact that they will eventually die that they leave a horrible mess for their grieving family to sort out.

So, here is a PoTG challenge: If you carry a gun to protect your family, do you have a will? Realizing that the likelyhood of armed confrontation is low, but that death is inevitable, which is more likely to assist your family?

My father always told me the word Illinois was an Indian word for Land of the Dumb F@#KS. based on the people allowed to be in control. I’d say it fits.
