Thank you....everyone. I now understand that I cannot do this.
I can't give her the gun in Illinois or in Texas......even though I am her father and I bought gun legally.

Appreciate all the info/advice.

I think there may be confusion. I've spoken to the guys at the register at Academy and Cabela's.

1. I will purchase the revolver in Texas. I have a CHL.

2. My daughter drove down this week.....I would like to give her the revolver. She will then drive back to Illinois with the revolver in her trunk, unloaded.

3. OR......Months later, I will drive to Illinois to visit my 32 yr old clean record daughter. Revolver in trunk unloaded. I would like to give...as a gift....the revolver....to my daughter.

5. I would expect my daughter to do the right thing and do the whole FOID card thing for Illinois.


Y'all's opinion - is this legal?^^^^ I understand the whole FFL transfer thing would be the best way...but what about the situations I described?
1. Giving it to her in Texas
2. Giving it to her in Illinois.

I would like to buy a 38 special revolver and gift it to my daughter. I will be the buyer. I will provide the money. It will not be a straw purchase.
I have a Texas CHL and my daughter meets all the requirements needed to own a gun.

The problem is ....my adult daughter lives in Illinois and will drive down to visit. When she is down here I'd like to present her with the gift.

Is there any legal problems here? Transferring the gun from Texas to Illinois....she will keep it unloaded and locked in the trunk of her car.

Advice please.
