Illinois Laws for Out of State residents
I am a Michigan resident (with Michigan ID) currently residing in a suburb of Chicago going to school full-time. What steps are necessary to take to be able to purchase a shotgun here in Illinois? I have purchased firearms before in Michigan but just wondered if there are a lot of loopholes to jump through buying here.
Thanks in advance for your help. |

Good question.
The answer is a little convoluted. Federal law no longer precludes you from buying a long gun out of state. State law would thus apply. Quote:

I have no idea what a gun dealer would say about it. They may not want to screw around with it.

Thanks a lot for your response. I am planning to contact a local gun dealer this weekend to hopefully sort this out.
Again, thank you. |

I just spoke with someone at a local gun shop and they told me it was required that I have an Illinois State ID or drivers license and that it is needed on my firearms application. Just thought I would let you know!

as a non-resident though, you are not eligible for a FOID card.

Otherwise + 1 Best wishes NukemJim * In ILL all parties involved in a conversation must know about it and agree to the audio recording of a conversation or whoever is making the audio recording of the conversation can be arrested and of course the audio portion of the tape would not be allowed in court. There was a case in Decatur where a person was arrested for filming LEO stops, he stayed out the LEOs way but they got him for for making the audio recording. Illinois law makers do not want to let people know or prove what was said behind closed doors. Gee, I wonder why
