Does a firearms transfer to a family member (daughter-in-law) in Illinois require a FOID check authorization number?  Asking because she applied for her FOID in July and surprise, surprise, the state hasn't gotten around to doing anything yet.  There seems to be two things wrong here.  One, simply ignoring her request for a FOID card means she's being denied a constitutional right.  Two, the state has failed to comply with their own statutes regarding the required issue timeline.  Interested in hearing from those who've had to deal with this themselves, or know what the law says in this case.

IANAL

Inheritance. Sounds like in normal times you had 60 day period which should cover getting a FOID. Slightly off topic, but maybe  slightly helpful.

Sounds like: Immediate family member gift exempt from FOID verification. Family member must meet all ownership requirements. Still need to keep record of transfer.

IANAL x2
