Do you really think your answer applies to the OP's question? As a LEO I could possess full auto weapons. When I was in the military I could possess full auto in IL. Neither of which has any relevance to the OP's question. There are all kinds of exceptions in the statutes which we could...

IL does not ban any type or make handguns except no fully auto. As WaveyDavey mentioned some municipalities who have home rule may have ordinances which are more restrictive than state law. You can find those local ordinances at http://www.isp.state.il.us/foid/ordinances.cfm . On the right...

The ruling was that an out of state resident did not need an IL FOID card.

Stored as you describe you'll have no problems and will be legal in IL. You don't need, and can't get, a FOID because you are not an IL resident. You can go to this link for answers. Concerning non-residents is about 2/3 of the way down. http://www.isp.state.il.us/foid/firearmsfaq.cfm

Read 720 ILCS 5/24‑3. That's the statute that covers transfers.

Onward Allusion is accurate. Private transfers are subject to the same law. Private sales require a 24/72 hour waiting period just the same as from an FFL. The IL AG ruled on that several years ago and it's clearly worded in statute. 720 ILCS 5/24‑3 For a ready reference...

If and when the bill passes then DNR will do what is called an Administrative Rule. In that Ad Rule it will give in detail what is legal to use. Ad Rules have the same force and effect as statutes. There are Ad Rules for all kinds of statutes. If you want to read some of them go here...

I got to Bloomington as they were hauling off the injured. I rarely miss the Bloomington show. They use to require all firearms to be zip tied open. However, many of the dealers complained that requiring the actions to stay zip tied hurt their sales and they couldn't properly examine guns...

Legal 720 ILCS 5/24‑1

Grizz asks: No, it's based on the LEOSA statute. It has nothing to do with the Sturgis case. Have you read LEOSA lately? If so, what's it say? It's clearly worded in the statute. Been there since 2004. "‘(b) This section shall not be construed to supersede or limit the laws of any...

Thanks Sappnasty. Actually I was on the state committee with several agencies and legislators where we did a ton of research on the topic and put together the state's LEOSA program. IL was one of the first states in the nation to have a program implemented and running. Within 6 months of...

I continually find it amazing that LEOSA has been in effect for 6.5 years since July 2004 and even some LEOs constantly misquote it or add their personal interpretation which isn't in the law. I also find it amazing that people who don't have a clue seem to think they have to offer their 2...

Absolutely not true. Your story is mixing apples and oranges. You're mixing "enforcement actions" with "inspections actions". 2 entirely different aspects of the laws. You might have driven for 35 years but it shows you don't have a grasp of the law. I've taught it for 40+ years. If you...

The Good Samaritan law does not prevent you from being sued. Anyone can sue anyone for any reason. What the Good Samaritan law does is give the person being sued a defense for their actions which may help prevent them from being held liable for any action they might have taken. You can still...

I was one of the first Troopers in the state to be certified as a Motor Carrier Safety inspector. In addition I taught MCS law for several years and commanded one of the most active MCS squads in the state. Some of what crzyjarmans says is accurate, some isn't. It is true that there are no...

Gary, To help you out with your information concerning IL. I'm sure you want to be 100% accurate with your information and you do not want anyone to get into any type of legal trouble simply because they misread your site. Your site implies that the ILSC ruling in 2009 negated the requirement...

She will have no trouble with IL. Why people keep posting stuff when they have no knowledge is beyond me. They just keep repeating the ignorance and baseless internet rumors and repeatedly show how gullible and ill-informed they are. For IL all she needs to do is have the firearm unloaded...

There have been several directors who were personally in favor of CCW however, read my post again about the director's position. They are political appointees. As such, when a person is appointed by a political process they hold to whatever the governor appointed them. Surely if you're...

To shed a bit of historical perspective on how IL ended up with the FOID card. Not defending it, just explaining it since far too many ramble on and interject irrelevant and erroenous tales. In 1967-68, when other states were implementing firearms registration, there was a move by some...

If you read the entire ruling the ILSC is specific in talking only of 26-1 which is the UUW statute. The internet talk from some who don't understand the ruling and it's application and then start interjecting their own "opinion" is what is dangerous. The ILAG immediately after the Diggins...
