FIRST NOTE THIS INFORMATIVE ONLY!!! I am not responsible for anything thing!
This is a quick "how to". Not the most detailed posting in the world. SBR= Short Barreled Rifle I have had many request for me to do a small quick tutorial on how to get a SBR in IL. To obtain an SBR on a form 1 on a trust. First you need a FOID. A C&R FFL from the ATF, this takes about 5 min to fill out and about 30 days to obtain one. FAQ about C&R FFL here Next fill out your Form 1. I'm not going to explain this part because there are a ton info on blogs/ post on how to do this much better than what I could produce. Google is your friend on this one. Now the CLEO sign off. I live in Crook county and there was no way in hell I was going to get a sign off. To be honest I live in Wilmette, I rather not draw attention to myself with trying to get a CLEO sign off So I went with a trust. Many people ask me where i get my trust from. My brother has a place in WI. He and I have a trust set up in WI for a few years. We have more NFA toys than "normal" firearms. I basically copied it and a Lawyer friend of mine modified it to my individual needs. Please do not PM me asking for a copy of my trust as you will not get it. If you search a little you will find plenty of info on NFA type trusts. Also please dont ask if i have any lawyer recommendations because I do not. I did this on an AR-15. MO |

Get a FOID. Get a C&R FFL Get a trust. Fill out a form 1. Does everybody now have a complete understanding of how to do this? |

I'm trying to get mine mailed off soon. I've read mixed reviews on weather or not I need to fill out a "certificate of compliance" when sending in my form 1. I already have my c&r, form 1, FOID and copy of the statute. |

| I need some clarification. Does a C&R FFL give the feds the right to enter my home at any time (as a FFL does)? Also, as a C&R holder, what would be the status of my SBR if I am away and my wife (FOID holder) is home alone? I ask this because I was instructed that my guns (or maybe my wife) are/is illeagal if I am away and she does not have a FOID. |

No a CR does not grant ATF access to your home as they wish. You do however have to keep a log like an FFL for the CR eligible firearms you buy or sell for your collection.
The way I understand it is you should set up a NFA revocable trust as described in the OP and put your wife and kids on it and you are covered. But I also understand it as long as its in the safe and not accessible when you are not around it is fine so long as she has a FOID which IL law says she must have if the guns are in the home and you are not. |
Nope. My toys are all individual route. Then again, I was able to get the sheriff signoff when I was in IN. 
Ahh, feels good to have my 11.5 inch shorty in my hands again. After 3 years in exile, its nice to have my favorite 5.56 pulling HD Duty again.

So no one did theirs on a trust? Do all members of the trust have to have a CR license? Like my wife for example.
Did you submit a copy of your CR on the Form1? or anything other than what it asks for? Torf...not sure buy im next door in Mclean and pretty sure he will sign but I want to put them in a trust for the benefits of it. |

That what I'm seeing in looking over samples too. |

I had a lawyer friend modify it to meet IL law and to my needs. He usually doesn't do trusts. |

You better know the laws before you go doing stuff like you are proposing, otherwise you are going to end up a felon and not have rights to any firearms at all. You are basically proposing a Straw Purchase, and a purchase across state lines. The feds do not look kindly upon either of those, and you are going to be in for a mighty shock if you try to put in SBR paperwork for that gun... |
