RE: Gun Permit in IL
you can get an foid card at any age to hunt if your under 16 you must complete a hunter saftey course and have an adult with you to get one I think but I'm sure on the hunter saftey course the state dnr web site has them listed with dates'times and contact numbers the site is www.dnr.state.il.us.com they can give you more info if needed

RE: Gun Permit in IL
I was just up in Illinois the other day.I'll never be able to understand how the gun owners can handle the political BS.I went with a friend to a local gun shop. I wanted to buy him a muzzleloader for a gift since he wanted one and never had bought himself one. He is an Illinois resident and has a IL FOID card.Another joke I might add. The guys brings out a 4473 form for a ML.I asked what the form was for with a BP rifle.He said it's required in IL. Then he said there was waiting period which almost took me off my feet. When I went to pay for it he said that he couldn't do it because on the 4473 my friend said he was buying it for himself.From the get go I told him I was buying it as a gift and he let us go through all the Bull, then says he can't sell it to us. I wouldn't be surprised if there wasn't a call in needed too?I wish all you Illinois gun owners the best with your next governor.I heard all about the candidates and looks like a no win situation.We went to another gun shop. Just out of curiosity I asked if I could buy a box of ammuntion since I didn't have a FOID. To my surprise he wasn't sure. He said that he's called about that question a couple times in the past and each time got a different answers. It's hard to believe that a state can be that screwed up and have mass confusion. I had thoughts of maybe moving there. After these episodes I don't think there is a chance of that happening.... Ruger Redhawk
