Eric, depends Wich one your looking at. The Mossberg 930 is semi automatic so some restrictions do apply. It can't hold more than 5 rounds. Some hold 7+1 and aren't legal but some hold 4+1 and are perfectly legal in Illinois. It can't have just a pistol grip with no stock, can't have more than a 5 round fixed magazine tube, and can't have a thumbhole stock, collapsible/telescopic stock, or folding stock. If you post again with the model number or upc we can let you know for sure. You can find the model number and upc under the products description.

Hi Eric, that depends on the model. As long as the 930 cannot hold more than 5 rds in the magazine and does not have a pistol grip, it would be legal in Illinois. Either one of those features would disqualify it. Illinois restrictions here - https://www.budsgunshop.com/feeds/state_reg/illinois_restrictions.pdf , Stay safe & have a great day!
