JohnRich 4 #1 March 31, 2012 News:Illinois residents can now legally mail order ammunition "Gun owners in Illinois will now be able to legally mail order ammunition from intra-state gun sales locations. "Senate Bill 681 passed the Senate on March 28. It allows an Illinois resident to buy ammunition through the mail from an in-state federal firearm-licensed retailer or seller of ammunition. “Only in Illinois would it be illegal to order ammunition from an Illinois point of purchase. Currently, a resident can purchase ammunition through the mail from Wyoming, Florida or any other state, but not here...”Full story: KFVS TV Logical and common sense, but will the Governor sign that bill?

jgoose71 0 #3 March 31, 2012 I voted absolutely not. If they want more gun freedoms they should either vote for a local government that will give it to then, or move to Texas. Let the Obama's of the U.S. have Illinois and run it as far into the ground as they want. "There is an art, it says, or, rather, a knack to flying.

rhaig 0 #6 April 1, 2012 QuoteHow do they show a valid state issued ID? The same way they'd show it if they ordered a box of ammo from an out of state seller (which they can do legally already). When the package is delivered it's likely marked "adult signature required" (at least when I buy ammo through the mail it is).-- Rob Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andrewwhyte 1 #8 April 1, 2012 Is this not a thinly disguised non-tariff barrier to interstate commerce? If the vendors have to be federally licensed what other purpose can the in-state limit serve? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #9 April 2, 2012 QuoteIs this not a thinly disguised non-tariff barrier to interstate commerce? If the vendors have to be federally licensed what other purpose can the in-state limit serve? I don't know what the original motivation was for the law. Did Illinois residents have to show a FOID (firearm owner identification) card to buy ammo? If so, then by forcing face-to-face ammo sales where a FOID could be verified, perhaps they were trying to prevent prohibited persons from obtaining ammo. Just a guess!
