You must have an Illinois FOID card to purchase from an FFL in Illinois, and no FFL is going to sell a modern sporting rifle to a FOID holder with a Chicago or Cook County address.
I'm sorry, but I'm the judge's side on this one. We don't need new laws banning certain classes of firearms, we need to fully enforce our existing laws, and this idiot from Arkansas trafficking guns to prohibited persons in Chicago, no matter what type of guns they may be, is just the type of person that needs to feel the full force of the existing laws.
“You must have an Illinois FOID card to purchase from an FFL in Illinois, and no FFL is going to sell a modern sporting rifle to a FOID holder with a Chicago or Cook County address.”
Oh yes they will or else risk a giant prejudice lawsuit.
“You must have an Illinois FOID card to purchase from an FFL in Illinois, and no FFL is going to sell a modern sporting rifle to a FOID holder with a Chicago or Cook County address.”
Half right. You do indeed have to have a valid FOID to purchase firearms or ammunition in IL. But no FFL holder I’m aware of cares about where you live.
My home town straddles Cook and DuPage counties. My County isn’t on my FOID nor is it on my CCL. No one has ever said “I can’t sell you this rifle because you live in Cook County.”
Not once. Ever.
Don’t get me wrong. I agree this clown should go away for selling to a felon.
Best,
