Illinois NFA laws - The Firearms Forum

I've been searching and couldn't find out what is and is not legal for use in Illinois. Can anyone fill me in on Illinois laws? Thanks.

Do these forums ever move at all?

If I understand them correctly, a private individual can not own any NFA controlled things in Illinois.

The following is from the NRA-ILA page on Illinois Gun Laws:

Quote:

NATIONAL FIREARMS ACT FIREARMS

It is unlawful to sell, manufacture, purchase, possess or carry any weapon from which more than one shot may be discharged by a single function of the trigger, including the frame or receiver of any such weapon.

It is unlawful to sell, manufacture, purchase, possess or carry any combination of parts designed or intended for use in converting any weapon into a machine gun, or any combination or parts from which a machine gun can be assembled.

There is an exception to the above prohibition, providing for the manufacture, transportation, and sale of machine guns to law enforcement and military personnel for official purposes, provided such weapons are "broken down in a non-functioning state or not immediately accessible."

This prohibition does not apply to persons licensed to manufacture machine guns or ammunition under federal law and who are actually engaged in the business of manufacturing such weapons or ammunition, but only with respect to activities which are in the lawful scope of such business, such as the manufacture, transportation or testing of such weapons or ammunition.

Yep no private ownership of Full Auto, SBR, AOW, or Silencers allowed in IL unless you are a licensed firearms manufacturer.

OR, maybe Dicky Daily's bodyguard.

Sorta like Rosie, no guns and prison if caught with one but has armed bodyguards around her at all times.....

Darn it, I figured IL law would prohibit such a thing. This state sucks for being a gun owner. I hope I see better luck in Az because I think thats where I'll be moving later this year.

From reading the post with the laws would kits like MP40's and PPSHs be illegal in Ill?-kinda sounds like it.

Only if they were made into a complete full auto.

Class 3 dealers are also allowed possession. This state sucks for NFA.
