Are there any restrictions (such as FOID) for her to have a firearm in her home or transport?   She'll have a TN conceal carry permit but I know there isn't reciprocity there.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how Illinois would view residence for a student.

She can not get an FOID if she is out of state resident but she doesnt need one in that case.

Pretty sure she will not be able to buy pistol ammo so bring enough.

I would ask the school. I take you are paying out of state rates ?

My son's legal address is my house his mail comes there. Car insurance says he lives here. He lives one town over in an apartment but this is considerd his legal address. I think student can have a legal address other than the school. I would check on this.
