I have 2 hrs. to bid! Can an Illinois FFL recieve my shipment from a non-FFL?

Military are allowed to purchase handguns in EITHER their state of residence or the state where their PERMANENT orders send them (NO TDY orders allowed).

A military member's state of residence is considered the state that he/she is ordered to. They can only buy handguns in their "home of record" state, IE: where their home driver's license is from, if they maintain a physical residence and address in that home state and spend at least part of the year actually residing there. Another exception is if they are stationed in one state and maintain a residence in a nearby state and commute to work, then they can buy handguns in either the state where their home is, or the state where they are ordered to.

Just because a military member has a driver's license from their home state does not mean they can legally buy handguns in that state. If someone can post a Federal code that does allow that, I would really like to see it.

Very Respectfully,
Navy LT

My dealer doesn't accept from non-FFL's and for good reason: What if the gun was stolen or wanted in connection with a felony? My dealer explained that he'd like to stay in business and not get shut down with the Feds for selling hot merchandise. And I agreed with him, after much whining. (Not really...)

Wow, they have a different reason that makes no sense every time.

Since some local shops shut down, the one local gunshop won't do transfers unless it comes from another FFL. And then they still want $40 and their B.S. you get for not buying the gun from them. Like I'm gonna sit around and wait until they get the gun in stock that I want which also happens to be out of production for 15 years.

I hate most FFL's, they are not about your rights, they are about $$$ and telling you what you can and can't have.
