You can sell it to her. Whether she can take it home is btwn her & the People's State of Illinois.
ETA: I stand corrected. See posts below. |

Quoted:
Im a new FFL holder in the state of Wyoming. I have a friend that lives in Illinois with her FOID and she is visiting in a couple weeks and wants to buy a shotgun from me. Can I, as an FFL, sell a shotgun to an Illinois resident legally and have her take it back to Illinois with her? Im getting a couple conflicting answers. Any info would be great, thanks! The BATFE gave you a CD-Rom with your new dealer stuff. On that CD you will find gun laws from the various states. You'll need to look up Illinois' laws. Whatever your customer needs to do when buying a gun in Illinois is what she needs to do when buying from you. That means a FOID card and, I believe, a 24-hour waiting period for a long gun. When in doubt, call your IOI or the ATF field office that handles licenses where you live. Whatever you do, don't rely on ARFcom for advice concerning YOUR license . . . not solely, anyway. |

You will need to follow the laws of both your State and those of IL. If IL has a waiting period or any other restrictions, they will need to be followed...
From whom may an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA? A person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State, except that he or she may purchase or otherwise acquire a rifle or shotgun, in person, at a licensee’s premises in any State, provided the sale complies with State laws applicable in the State of sale and the State where the purchaser resides. A person may borrow or rent a firearm in any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes. [18 U.S.C. 922(a)(3) and (5), 922(b)(3), 27 CFR 478.29 and 478.30] |

You can ONLY sell a long gun to an out-of-state person from a "contiguous state" meaning a state that borders your state.

Quote HistoryNSSF needs to actually research that list again, since it's mostly wrong.
Colorado and Deleware, for instance, do not restrict their residents from purchasing in non-contiguous states - they have old laws specifically ALLOWING purchases in contiguous states, which became moot when the federal restriction on non-contiguous states went away on 5/19/1986. Illinois' law, happens to forbid purchases except in IL or the listed contiguous states, which most other state's laws did not do, or were since repealed. |
