Selling a handgun to a friend in Illinois question

[Bunnykid68]

Are there any laws that prohibit me from selling a firearm to a resident in Chicago Illinois? He tells me some of the prices there locally are going up and is considering buying from an individual in Indiana. I know some of you guys and gals are very knowledgeable, so you were the first ones I thought of.
Thanks in advance.

No there is nothing to prohibit you from selling it to him, however, because he is not a resident of Indiana you must transfer it to him through an FFL in Illinois, an he must abide by all Illinois laws.

So i should just let him move in for a while and then give it to him?

That sums it up.

You would have to get a IL drivers licence and a FOID card to make it happen. On the same note, if he moves in with you, he has to be a resident of the state(get a IN DL).

IN Code allows you to transfer ownership of a handgun to an individual without an NICS check IF both parties hold IN LTCH. I doubt the man in Chi holds a valid IN LTCH. The cite is IC 35-47-2.5-1.

Both parties do not have to hold a IN LTCH correct me if I'm wrong thats for Indiana residents, but if your selling to someone in Illinois you just have to transfer through a FFL.

Both parties holding LTCH? O.K., where did this come from? Texas?

Potentially.

Is your friend disqualified under federal or Illinois law (felony, domestic violence conviction, under indictment or information, inter alia)? If so, then yes.

If he is qualified, then you must execute the transfer via a FFL. I.e., you cannot drive up there and give it to him, ship it to the FFL and then the FFL with have your buddy fill out the 4473 (which stops crime) and pass the NICS check and do the dozen other things that Chicago now requires.

Have your people get with his people and then have your people call my people and then let's do lunch, and then let's re-schedule lunch three times and then just end up going to Jimmy John's.

Ummm, for 2010 I lost count at seventeen freight cars full.



Here's the train full of ammo that rhino bought me just for 2008 pulling into Lafayette:

You know all those magazines that Crane has? Well, I need to rent a few just to store the .45 that rhino owes me.

Gun school ammo for all!!!

Federal law would apply to interstate transfer. LTCH holder or not, if he's a resident of IL and the seller IN and sells without going through an FFL, he's eligible for a 5 year all expenses trip to Club Fed.

What are the ramifications if you just lend it to him?

IMHO, he is an Il., resident in possession of an illegal weapon......
