IL may not be terrible compared to, say, California or New York, but compared to Missouri, it's downright hostile.
resurrection of a 6 YO thread.
As I understand the insane rules, the actual transfer to you has to take place in your state of residence by an FFL whose place of business is in your state.Stupid question - if I buy something in Belleville or Edwardsville, and there's a Missouri dealer at the show, can they do the transfer there?

An important thing: C&S is a class III last I knew, which means they can sell you any goody but silencers, which are the only thing banned by MO law. I suppose that'll be the next thing we need to work on here.
They'll be legal on August 28, which is when the new law takes effect. They will be legal to manufacture, sell, and possess (by a licensed collector, so get your C&R). The change was snuck on to the range protection act.
since I'm a resident of Minnesota, the way the FOID law seems to read is that it doesn't apply to non-residents so it seems that I'm able to still buy firearms and ammo
I have a C&R, so what else will I need to buy a silencer on Aug. 28th?
Federal law states you can only buy handguns in your state of residence. You should be able to buy long guns here as federal law allows that, but I suspect most stores would want to do a transfer to your home state anyway. Illinois law only requires that residents have a foid to buy ammo but again, good luck finding a vendor that both knows and feels comfortable enough with the law to sell it to you. I suspect it will be harder at chains than gun dealers.Thanks for the info. Now since I'm a resident of Minnesota, the way the FOID law seems to read is that it doesn't apply to non-residents so it seems that I'm able to still buy firearms and ammo. Am I reading the law correctly? I believe I am but I just want to double check.
I imagine the locally owned shops will know the law a lot better than the counter jockey at walmart who was told "foid card no matter what." Mail order should largely avoid the foid issue.Thanks guys. It seems like shooting sports here in IL will be more hassle than it's worth as I'm not so keen on the FOID concept. The trap club on base has an advertisement that they'll help the troops get one if they want but I think I'll keep my Minnesota residency. Again thanks for the info gentlemen.
You might really want to start a new thread on this issue - a seven year old thread might not get much new attention especially since the information requested has changed substantially.
