Quoted:
Can an FFL in Illinois take delivery of a firearm from a private party in another state? Yes it is perfectly legal if the transaction takes place in Illinois or the firearm is shipped to Illinois. Many dealer don't want the hassle though. I don't think a dealer can do a FTF with his FFL with a private party if the transaction takes place outside of Illinois. The FFL is a license to do business at actual physical location as specified on the FFL. The only exception would be is an in-state gun show. |

If you are transferring a firearm into Illinois from a private party, the FFL just receives the unit from that party and has the transferee fill out the 4473 to complete the transfer. The FFL can go across the border to pick up and buy the unit for the transferee, but the official transfer must take place at the residence of the FFLs address of business. It is not necessary for the seller to send the unit through an FFL. Some licensees insist this be the case because they use the transfering as a source of revenue, but it is totally not necessary.
