FAQ
In Illinois, you can't get a card if you were convicted of an offense like an assault, a battery, aggravated assault or violation of an order of protection, in which a gun was used or possessed in the last five years.
Open carry of a handgun on your person or in a vehicle is illegal. An Illinois Concealed Carry License (CCL) is required to concealed carry a firearm in Illinois. Applicants must be 21 or older.
Non-residents are not eligible to have a FOID Card.
Unless specifically exempted by statute, any Illinois resident who acquires or possesses firearms or firearm ammunition within the state must have in their possession a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card issued in his or her name.
You Need to be an Illinois Resident Over 21 to Buy a Handgun. If you are over 18 and an Illinois or bordering state resident from Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, or Indiana you CAN buy a long gun though. All other out of state residents must transfer through an FFL dealer.
The circumstances depend whether it's a felony or a misdemeanor. Illinois law is in line with federal law in stating you can't get a FOID card if you have either a felony conviction or a domestic violence offense on your record.
Non-residents are not required to have an Illinois FOID card but must be legally eligible to possess or acquire firearms and ammunition as determined by their home state.
If you have no FOID card and the weapon is loaded with ammunition the special penalty for this Class 4 felony is a one to three-year prison sentence (three to six years if an extended sentence) with probation impossible and up to a $25,000 fine no matter what your criminal background.
With a Concealed Carry License (CCL) you can have a firearm in your vehicle locked, loaded and ready to go. You can have it on you in a holster, concealed or open. You could have it sitting on the seat next to you, or even under the seat.
