Deadly Weapons License, Chapter 54

Sucks for dealers:
A dealer needs a valid Federal FFL and Illinois FOID before applying for a DWL.
Sucks for buyers:
"Subjects" must submit fingerprints, SSN, authorization for state AG to check criminal and mental health review before purchase, as well as holding a valid FOID and filling out a 4473 and ISP phone check. Additional $50 background check fee to Crook...
Lyons and Lincolnwood are in Cook...Bensenville is DuPage, BUT the O'Hare expansion is gonna push out to York Rd, so Gun World is (eventually) eliminated. Are they selling again or is only the range open?
OK, there's also Bell's Guns (?) on Mannheim Rd...Franklin Park (Cook), which 90% of the time has an empty parking lot...10% there may be one or two cars, besides employees. They had a <10% blued Bulgarian Makarov for $350+ fees/tax a couple years ago...must shoot "house" ammo on their range, handgun only (no handgun-caliber long arms)...a less-restrictive range @Gun World is only a couple miles away and NO Bulgy Mak is worth $350.

Then and only then can conduct business... $1000/year fee (section 32) for DWL.The Department of Revenue shall use its best efforts to approve or deny all applications for a deadly weapons dealer license or a gun show permit within 30 days after receiving all information required by this section.

In any event, I shot at Midwest Guns in Lyons last weekend, and Gunworld in Bensenville the weekend before. There's also Shore Galleries up in Lincolnwood. Not positive about the political boundaries, but I'm pretty sure all of those shops are in Cook.
