I live in Iowa and I am looking to buy a motorcycle and there is one in Chicago. I have $6300 and a Saiga 7.62X39 and was wondering if this is legal or not? Anything special I need to do? I am not familiar with Illinois gun laws.

Correct.

This leaves one with a few options.

1) Sell your rifle locally, convert the cash into bike.

2) conduct your transaction outside Cook County.

I am not an attorney and I would strongly advise you not to transport your rifle anywhere where it is prohibited. I am also not advising anyone to break any laws, no matter how much I may disagree with them.

That said, I had a friend who owned multiple handguns while a resident of Hippietown  no guns no nukes Evanston. He stored them away from his residence.

I was just doing some reading and was wondering does the guy I am trading have to have a FOID card or is that just cook county? I actually have it for sale private but no luck.

Thanks guys for the info.

FOID is required for all Illinois residents in order to own any gun.

Wrong.
