Illinois has the foid system. You get a card that basically says that you're legally allowed to own a gun. You need this card to buy ammunition and guns and to possess a gun. It's not a bad system, problem is that Indiana and Wisconsin are so close to Chicago.
It is federally illegal to buy a handgun outside your home state, and many states include rifles in this. They can be purchased technically, but they have to be shipped to an FFL dealer in your state for the NICs check. Even in states that will sell rifles to out of state IDs, the rifle still has to be legal in their home state and they have to follow all the laws of that state. IL specifically, if you go into any FFL in the country, you'll be told "we're sorry, can't help you" because of their laws.
I know the news pretends that none of that is true, but it is. Not likely people will know that though unless they have either tried it as a customer or worked in an FFL, I'm just informing not talking shit (sometimes intent gets lost through text, just clarifying.)
Just to clarify, the FOID approval process is effectively performed in every state for any gun purchase. It's not like the FOID background check carries more scrutiny or anything. If a Texan resident can buy guns in Texas, they could get a FOID card if they lived in Illinois.
And it's federally illegal to sell guns to non-residents of the state the sale is made in, so Chicago residents can't buy guns in neighboring states. Indiana and Wisconsin residents could bring guns into Chicago, but that alone is highly illegal too.
Correct, but you cannot buy ammo without a foid, which stops people from using an illegal gun.
Sounds like chicago needs to do something about how close those other states are.
We wish.
That sounds very reasonable.
