Quote History Quoted:
Good luck. I live here in IL and have an AZ ID (military). No one would sell me ammunition before I got a FOID, I tried Walmart, Rural King, LGS, even showed them my orders and military ID and no one would sell to me. I just buy online exclusively. I live 5 minutes from the new Gander Mountain and I will probably never buy ammunition there. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quote History Quoted:

Sadly, while federal law allows it, our state has different ideas as codified in the FOID Act:
(c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer of firearm ammunition shall not apply to those persons specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2 of this Act.
(Source: P.A. 97-1135, eff. 12-4-12; 98-508, eff. 8-19-13.)
(430 ILCS 65/3a) (from Ch. 38, par. 83-3a)
Sec. 3a. (a) Any resident of Illinois who has obtained a firearm owner's identification card pursuant to this Act and who is not otherwise prohibited from obtaining, possessing or using a firearm may purchase or obtain a rifle or shotgun or ammunition for a rifle or shotgun in Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin or Kentucky.
(b) Any resident of Iowa, Missouri, Indiana, Wisconsin or Kentucky or a non-resident with a valid non-resident hunting license, who is 18 years of age or older and who is not prohibited by the laws of Illinois, the state of his domicile, or the United States from obtaining, possessing or using a firearm, may purchase or obtain a rifle, shotgun or ammunition for a rifle or shotgun in Illinois.
While there is language in the preceding section "(c) The provisions of this Section regarding the transfer of firearm ammunition shall not apply to those persons specified in paragraph (b) of Section 2 of this Act" that only references "Nonresident hunters during hunting season, with valid nonresident hunting licenses", "Nonresidents while on a firing or shooting range recognized by the Department of State Police", "Nonresidents while at a firearm showing or display recognized by the Department of State Police", "Nonresidents whose firearms are unloaded and enclosed in a case" and "Nonresidents who are currently licensed or registered to possess a firearm in their resident state".
IOW, Ill-annoys had FUBAR'ed what should be a simple thing. Again.
