Simple Question: Illinois and FOID
|
It's a precarious situation. Ideally, your friend needs to get a FOID ASAP.
If your friend must get the guns out of his deceased relative's home now then later, he might have a trusted friend living in IL with a FOID hold the firearms for him. Another solution, depending on the number of firearms, is to have them stored in a bank safety deposit box. Finally, not advised, but unless he has reason to believe he's going to have the police search his home anytime soon, he could simply take the risk and store the guns in his home. In all cases, he should have a friend with a FOID transport the firearms from point A to point B. Once at point B, your friend is pretty safe until he gets his FOID.
Here's the caveat - I am not a lawyer and this is advice from the Internet.
