thanks for the knowledge. do yall up there in IL have to pay for the "foid" card? i think thats the only thing that would piss me off about that law

Yes, unfortunately. It is $10, however it is good for 10 years. The only thing that pisses me off about it, is that when you buy Ammo, you have to show the FOID card. You can't just show your license and them see that you're 18/21 depending on whether its long gun or hand gun. You have to be 18/21 and have the card. In Illinois you also have to have one for an air rifle over 750 FPS. You couldn't hunt in Illinois with an airgun even if you wanted to.

We also have a cool down period where they hold the gun for 2 or 3 days depending on what it is. It sucks.

I wanted to get my gun by the middle of march so i could take it down to My grandma's/uncle's in Kentucky over spring break, but I found out they are behind by about 2 weeks on the FOID apps (which is against the law. State Police breaking there own laws =D> ), then by the time I find what I want and do my 2 or 3 days I don't think I am gonna be able to make it work.

10 bucks isnt as bad as i expected, but it is a bummer. i think the cool down period will be in all states in the next year or two, wich is good in a way, so joe the plummer cant go blow a hole in his old lady, but sucks for the normal population like us, especialy if you have the same addiction as i do... buying on impulse! :mrgreen:

The waiting period only works if it's your first gun. After that it just a pain in the ass.

In Illinois you also have to have one for an air rifle over 750 FPS.

Only if the airgun is over .18 caliber. No FOID is requied for any airgun under .18 cal, regardless of muzzle velocity.
