Posted: 9/27/2016 11:05:38 AM EDT

My sister and her fiance live in the rockford area and I would like to gift them a rifle I have. The rifle is my personal property and I was hoping to give it them for Christmas. The fiance has a FOID card. Can I just gift this to them when they come up here or must I do something else? Thanks!

Not sure on the legalities of giving your relative a firearm from one states residence to another.
However,Illinois state law requires the owner of any firearm be required to keep a receipt of that firearm for 10 years.

That is not entirely true. I will agree that the OP will have to go through an FFL though.

A person may transfer a firearm to an unlicensed resident of his or her State, provided the transferor does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the transferee is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. There may be State laws that regulate intrastate firearm transactions. A person considering transferring a firearm should contact his or her State Attorney General’s Office to inquire about the laws and possible State or local restrictions.

Generally, for a person to lawfully transfer a firearm to an unlicensed person who resides out of State, the firearm must be shipped to a Federal firearms licensee (FFL) within the transferee’s State of residence. The transferee may then receive the firearm from the FFL upon completion of an ATF Form 4473 and a NICS background check.

A person may loan or rent a firearm to a resident of any State for temporary use for lawful sporting purposes, if he or she or she does not know or have reasonable cause to believe the person is prohibited from receiving or possessing firearms under Federal law. Another exception is provided for transfers of firearms to nonresidents to carry out a lawful bequest or acquisition by intestate succession. This exception would authorize the transfer of a firearm to a nonresident who inherits a firearm under the will of a decedent.

A person may transfer a firearm to a licensee in any State. However, a firearm other than a curio or relic may not be transferred interstate to a licensed collector.

Marengo Guns is not that far from Rockford. I don't know what the current transfer fee is, but it was $10 a couple of years ago.

I stand corrected.
