- #There are some exceptions to the prohibition against interstate
- #sales of firearms. In particular, if your state and an adjoining
- #state both agree that out-of-state purchases are OK between those

- True, except that it doesn't have to be an adjoining state - one
- can buy longarms in any state, as long as both states' laws are
- followed.
-
- I've found that many dealers would much rather transfer the sale
- through an FFL so as to avoid the hassle, however.
-
- To compound the question, would non-residents be able to buy in IL?
- Obviously they wouldn't have the IL FOID card. If they are able to,
- they would definitely still be subjected to the IL waiting period.
