Ok guys, I live in Missouri half the year and IL half the year, I'm a student and have legal residence in both states. Now, that being said, I might end up moving back to the People's Republic of Illinois (a little bad humor there) full time. Now, I know all about the $200 tax-stamp, sheriff's sign-off, and rediculous background-check, etc for the transfer of a short-barreled rifle, shotgun, automatic weapon, suppressor, etc. My question is, even with all that stuff, can a person even own that stuff in IL? I wasn't sure if the Class-III stuff negated or superceded IL law or what, and if it is even possible to have that stuff in IL. I have been to ranges in IL that rent full-auto weapons, so I am thinking there must be a way...or maybe you must be a full blown Class-III dealer. The reason I asked is that my father-in-law, a law-abiding gun enthusiast was talking about how cool it'd be to have a Thompson or Uzi, and I was thinking the same.
Thanks!
Thanks!
