can anyone help - or direct me to rules on the sales of firearms (in state and out of state). I need some $$ for home repairs and am considering selling one or two rifles and a pistol - but wanted to make sure I was not getting myself into hot wather - what with all the local rules ect. My question is - what do I need to do for Rifle - instate / out of state For pistol - in state / out of state. Thanks! ETA - I mean individual to individual. |

Out-of-state can only be done through an FFL, no exceptions. Handguns can only be transferred through a dealer in one's home state, while long guns can be transferred in any state - subject to state laws. In IL, FFL transfers of long guns are restricted to residents of surrounding states. For FTF within IL (to other IL residents), you need to keep a bill of sale with the transferor and transferee names, FOID #'s, date, and firearm info (type, caliber, serno). You must also abide by IL waiting period law (24hr long gun, 72hr handgun), but the waiting periods take effect upon "application to purchase" - which I've always been told is interpreted as and have seen interpreted as the time at which the buyer and seller form the agreement to make the sale. |
