I'm hoping someone will know the answer to this off the top of their head. If not, maybe someone could point me to where I might find the answer?
So, I'm mostly asking this on behalf of my in-laws. Years and years ago (not sure how many), my MIL inherited 4 guns from her father (all newer than about 1950s era). She never got an FOID card or registered the guns. Now she wants to sell them.
From what I understand, 1) it's currently illegal for her to even have these guns, 2) you need an FOID card to sell guns, even privately.
Is there any way she can go about getting an FOID card for these guns now, so that she can sell them? Would she still need an FOID card to sell them to someplace like Cabellas (I'm assuming yes)? Will applying for an FOID card now get her in trouble for having them for all these years without one?
If nobody knows, does someone at least know the relevant sections of IL law that deals with gun things so I can go search it out?
