- # 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.

- You actually pretty much answered your own question. The law of
- both states must be followed. If ther out of IL resident had an FOID then
- he could buy no problem. If not the law of IL is not being followed.
- This is the same in NJ. A resident can purchase long guns in any state
- (he should display his rifle/shotgun card but I was never asked for it
- when I was a NJ resident), but a out of stater cannot buy in NJ since they
- don't have a card. There are cases where out of state residents hold NJ
- cards, of which i've heard, but I don't know the details. I believe the
- easiest way to do that is have had one at a NJ address then merely change
- the address with the Staties...
