Hi Scott, you must provide Bud's with a FOID card or CCL to purchase ammo in Illinois.
Customers must possess a valid Illinois FOID (Firearm Owner’s ID) card to purchase firearms or ammunition anywhere in Illinois. Alternately, persons possessing a valid Illinois Concealed Carry License may present their valid license in lieu of the FOID card. It must be faxed or emailed to us prior to shipment.
Upload your FOID card here budsgunshop.com/contact_us.php?printForm=ammocredentials ,
Or you can fax it to 1-800-804-5569
Or email FFL@Budsgunshop.com

Hope you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving Scott B.
In Illinois, when you're trying to order items like deer slug ammunition, retailers typically require proof of identity and eligibility to purchase firearms or ammunition. Some states, including Illinois, require an Illinois Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card number for purchasing ammunition.
Here’s why the request for an ID number is happening:
• Illinois residents need a Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card to legally purchase firearms and ammunition. The FOID card is issued by the Illinois State Police, and it’s different from a driver's license (DL) or state ID.
Steps to resolve the issue:
• Check for FOID Card: If you don’t have a FOID card yet, you'll need to apply for one through the Illinois State Police. Once approved, you'll receive the card, which will have a unique number.
Once you have the correct number (likely your FOID card number), you should be able to complete the purchase without issue at any Retailer. If you plan on purchasing ammo repeatedly in the future it's worth getting what's needed. It maybe a hassle at first but well worth it brotha!!

you can not order ammo with out buds having a copy of your Illinois FOID card email or fax to Buds at: FFL@BudsGunShop.com
