Yes, IL requires a FOID, but having a FOID does not indicate you actually own a firearm. While we lived in IL my wife had a FOID, but owned no firearms, and I knew lots of others in similar circumstances. One of the things about IL's FOID law is that it would be illegal for a person to handle a gun without a FOID. Although it is necessary to have a FOID to purchase a gun, your FOID information is not recorded at the sale, not even on the federal 4473, although a check is run with Illinois State Police along with the NCIC check, no record of the transaction is supposed to be kept by them, and the firearm being purchased is not mentioned during the check.RPB wrote:jimlongley wrote:As a past resident of the State of Illinois, I am a Life Member of the ISRA, so this subject is important to me.
