Illinois does this, technically. You need to present a FOID card when purchasing ammo, and that requires a background check, $10 fee, and a lot of paperwork. Actually, that’s all done online now, unless otherwise requested, in which case it takes a lot longer than 30 days.
“Illinois does this, technically. You need to present a FOID card when purchasing ammo, and that requires a background check, $10 fee, and a lot of paperwork.”
I wouldn’t call it a “lot”. It’s a one page web form. Before that it was a one page paper form, $10, and a passport photo. It’s the CCL process here that’s way too expensive. It’s almost like Dems hate the poor and minorities.
Oh wait, they do.
By the way there’s an interesting lawsuit winding through the Illinois courts to get the entire FOID scheme tossed as unconstitutional. The trial court found it to be and the State appealed the decision. That’s one to watch.
Illinois has lost every single major lawsuit against the stupid gun laws here. I’m relatively confident they’ll lose this one, too.
