Quoted:
A full 24-hour period this Does Illinois have a waiting period for firearm purchases and does it apply to private sales? Yes. Illinois law requires withholding the delivery of a concealable weapon (i.e. a handgun) for at least 72 hours and a rifle, shotgun, or other long gun for at least 24 hours. This applies for gun dealers and private sales. |

72 hour wait on handguns and 24 hours on long guns. This also applies to FTF transfers between private parties too.

I love it when everyone posts the correct answer! 5 years ago you'd have gotten 3 different answers and 2 I don't knows!

And until a few years ago, it was wrongly assumed by virtually everyone that private transfers did not incur the waiting periods. I would bet even today many private transfers ignore the waiting period because few people realize it applies. |

Since npd is so happy, I'll throw in that the state does not hold FFLs to the hour, just to toss in at least SOME controversy.
Also, if you buy a long gun in a neighboring free state (no wait), Illinois law applies to you (must wait). |

I picked up this rifle: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=433947
Its a nice one! I'll be up a McMiller range again with it this coming weekend if the weather allows. QUESTION: When does the "wait" period start? Upon "order & payment" for the gun, or after the insta-check is run? |
