Nov 2015

Had to show my Illinois drivers license and FOID card, do the NICS check and observe the 24 hour long gun waiting period required in Illinois before I could pick it up.

When I bought a used Uberti .45 Long Colt SAA a few months ago, I had to do the background check in Indiana, have it shipped to my local Illinois gun shop/FFL, pay the additional transfer fee and wait three days, show my FOID card and Drivers license again to pick it up.

I love the experts/idiots who still claim I can just drive over and pick up anything I want and drive home with it.

Sure, if I'm buying it out of a car trunk in an alley in Gary.

But then again any criminal can do that in any state.
