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.

No idea. But it's just dumb as hell that they are asking someone who already has an SBR stamp.

They only sent that letter back with one of my form 1's so I'm sure I'll get the same response back from my other form 1 any day now.

Did the examiner leave a contact number? Maybe give them a ring Monday and see what the mental block is.

I did not think an ordinance was required for populations above a certain size and they were automatically home rule?


https://www.palatine.il.us/555/Home-Rule-Authority

Home Rule Authority

In 1970, by virtue of a population above 25,000 people, the Village of Palatine achieved home rule status with the passage of the revised Constitution of Illinois. As a home rule community, Palatine has the authority to exercise any power or perform any function pertaining to its government and affairs including, but not limited to, the powers to regulate for the protection of the public health, safety, morals, and welfare, and to license, tax, and incur debt.

Authority & Latitude
Home rule communities have far greater authority and latitude to make their own decisions than non-home rule municipalities. Even though the state of Illinois has granted home rule units flexibility and authority to enact taxes, borrow money, regulate local activities, alter their government structure, and seek innovative solutions to local problems, the General Assembly has imposed several restrictions on the use of home rule powers.

First and foremost, home rule units may not tax income, earnings, and/or occupations, or license for revenue unless authorized to do so by the General Assembly; define or punish for felonies; or incur debt payable from property taxes that matures more than 40 years from the date of issuance. Furthermore, the General Assembly may restrict or pre-empt home rule powers by three-fifths majority vote of the legislature.

Don't recall that in SBR itself but I could be wrong.  The CCL law has state preemption language for handguns and it gave local municipalities 10 days to pass AWB ordinances iirc.   SBR VS AWB???

http://ilga.gov/legislation/publicacts/98/098-0063.htm

(c) Notwithstanding subsection (a) of this Section, the
regulation of the possession or ownership of assault weapons
are exclusive powers and functions of this State. Any ordinance
or regulation, or portion of that ordinance or regulation, that
purports to regulate the possession or ownership of assault
weapons in a manner that is inconsistent with this Act, shall
be invalid unless the ordinance or regulation is enacted on,

It sounds like the ATF wants a specific ordnance saying AR's are ok to own. We'll see what the police department says.

The whole thing makes no sense since I already own a SBR.

Gotcha, they werent questioning if home rule the way I originally took that.  Don't most places tell you what you can not do instead of what you can?  I don't recall ever seeing an ordinance that says its ok to own a firearm.

Good luck and let us know how it goes.

Palatine muni codes are a bit harder to search as they arent hosted off site and searchable but as independent PDFs

They do call out some conflicts around employment and sick leave...

Has anyone tried calling the investigators and seeing exactly what they want yet? Like someone pointed out earlier, ordinances are usually for saying what you CAN'T do not what you CAN, so there probably isn't a code saying you can have/build one.

Not to be negative, but is there risk of revoking your current stamp if they take the approach that County rules are in force unless Home Rule community passes a law superseding County.   Ive seen local codes call out county conflicts, but this seems a bit backwards with County says no and the ATF wants a law saying you can which I dont think I've heard of, although I assume Hoffman Estates has something allowing sales in Cook Co for Cabelas.

Tried to call the number to ATF for last 2 weeks left several messages no response, also worked with local PD they also tried to call them no response back. Local PD saying that they don't know what exactly ATF is asking, they told me Palatine is a home rule community, but they won't write me a letter to submit to ATF I have 6 days left before my application gets kicked, with no response from ATF and local PD can't help even tho person who tried to help me from PD was very cool guy and I knew that he was trying to help me but couldn't get response back from ATF.

Nothing... Left messages with the ATF, never got back to me. The police chief never got back to me either.

Looks like I may be stuck building some pistols.

Someone from the local PD finally emailed me back but only with a document that says Palatine is home rule. I don’t think that’ll be enough for the ATF.

Edit: I emailed back asking if there are any ordances on the books that I could use showing we are exempt and they said there are none they are aware of.


Looks like I’m officially stuck with pistols now. On the bright side, at least the $400 I’ll get refunded can go into those builds.

Haven't even had it engraved as I was counting on at least another 3 months
My last 3 took that long.

Anyone know of engraver in state?

ETA; Does ATF notify my CLEO or do I do that?
How do I notify?




Here are the results of a 5mo wait!

Per atf instructions on the form 1, the copy marked “cleo copy” is what you send to your local cleo and is what serves as notification when you first apply for the stamp.

Simple fact is this, unless your locality has a grandfathered AW ban, if your in IL, SBRs are legal.  They are legal for corporations, they are legal for trusts.  They are legal for individuals.  How do I know, simple, I had an Illinois legal SBR before anyone else did, and I did it without any FFL of any kind, about 15 years ago.  With the new statute from what, 2013, they just made it easier without an argument from ATF.

Before getting my own FFL/SOT, I helped people, corporations, and one trust, all get registered SBRs in Illinois, well over a dozen of them.

If anyone with a FOID card wants a SBR, if they will do what they are told to do (and it does not require an SOT), I will sell them on ATF Form 4 an SBR, on my own AR lower, which does not require that engraving nonsense, as its already ATF approved marked.  If they don't want to buy one from me, I'll still walk them through it, and if they have a fOID card, and don't live in the wrong city, it will be approved.

I'm gonna' go out on a limb here and disagree w/ you.  SBR's were not legal for the average subject to own prior to the 2013 legislation.

Before getting my own FFL/SOT, I helped people, corporations, and one trust, all get registered SBRs in Illinois, well over a dozen of them.

Heres a question...i recieved my C&R yesterday as an individual, not factoring my better half, my question is if i fill out my Form 1 as a TRUST will it get kicked back because my C&R and Form 1 wont match?

I realize i can do the form 1 as an individual, but id like for my wife who does shoot be able to train or use the rifle for a possible home defense scenario while im not around!

Note: ive called the ATF and ive left messages for an  NFA examiner, but havnt gotten a response.  Thanks fellas

Unless something has (recently) changed, you can't get a SBR approved in Illinois on a trust.

To my knowledge, no one can shoot (or be in possession of) the rifle without you being present.

Finally finished my last two Cook County SBR builds. Got the stamps back in December, but with moving down to GA things had to wait. All three were originally registered in Cook County.

Fill out and send them one of these. Took around 3 weeks for mine to get approved when I moved.

Under "dates" you can literally put from 3/10/18 to 12/31/18. Then send in a new one next year.

Sooooo, to all of us who have gotten C+R licenses. What is there to prevent CLEOs from using this knowledge to come after us when a ban goes into effect. This would provide probable cause that high capacity assault weapons  are owned by the licensee.

There are also reasons to get a C&R other than getting a SBR.  Not sure that alone qualifies as probable cause so will be interested in other comnents.

And you are assuming a ban is going to happen...not a done deal yet.

Did we ever get by the 26” length restriction? That just screws the whole sbr thing up. Very poorly written language.
