FOID card in Illinois

[lf19]

Traveling on business in IL, found 22 LR at Gander Mountain. Waited in line with a bunch of retirees and then was asked for my FOID card. No ammo for me. What a dumb state. So glad I live in IN. We have it so good here.

There is no law preventing them from selling ammo to you as an Indiana resident without a FOID card.

Perhaps they've created a policy, but no law.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

In which state do you reside?

 

[lf19]

Indiana

 

[Iroquois]

no law preventing you from buying long gun ammo...some argue they can't sell you pistol ammo...not that 'pistol' ammo exists. The only ammo that I've seen no rifles for is .25acp. Bogus arse covering ,if you ask me. If they won't sell you long gun ammo with your Indiana drivers license then they're just plain stupid.

I bought ammo in IL (walmart) as the guy behind me (IL resident) had to show is FOID card.

Indiana residents don't need one.

 

[dyerwatcher]

It is incredible how uninformed people and companies are. This has happened to me also. I'm happy keeping my money in Indiana.

All Non reseidents of Illinois "Dont need one" because you cant get a FOID Card WITHOUT being an Illinois resident!

It was some uninformed boob running a cash register, probably with an uninformed manager.

If you are an Indiana resident then the FOID requirement does not apply to you.

Ask for a manager and ask to see the Illinois State Police memo that Wal-Mart issues to its Illinois stores.

Be patient, smile.

And blow kisses

Whatever, people of Gander Mountain, people of Wal-Mart, I triple dog dare you to tell me the distinction.

And blow kisses

Kisses are always optional, especially in a Wal-Mart.

My experience in Illinois has been that if you have a non resident hunting license, Walmart has no problem selling you ammo.

 

[Maximinus Thrax]

Bass Pro in Peoria had no issues selling pistol ammo to me last year on several occasions.

 

[ilcaveman]

If you are not a resident of Illinois you can buy ammo for any RIFLE, but not a pistol. My friend owns a lgs and I hear him asking all the time, is this ammo for a rifle?

 

[rabidsquirrel]

I was in Soviet Chicago last month on business. I stopped in a LGS and asked to look at a Chiappa Rhino. They wouldn't even take it out of the glass case for me without presenting a FOID.

 

[Ericpwp]

Some check them at the door. Something to do with a guy asked to look at a gun, pulled out a loaded mag for it, an shot everyone. At least that's what I was told.

 

[Voldemort]

I surprised they dont have a curtain in the firearms case that they only pull back for FOID's...

 

[tetsujin79]

Former Crook county resident chiming in...

Well, I don't know about the shooting, but for checking them at the door, why not? You can't buy ammo without a FOID and I believe someone intetionally handing a gun to you is a "transfer" per Illinois code and illegal without an FOID. Stupid Illinois...

The Cabela's in Hammond asks for my FOID everytime I give them my cell number (708 area code). Stupid Indiana/Illinois border store...
