I just purchased a rifle. I’m from Illinois. It never asked for my FOID card information. When do I show that?

Hi Marty, Bud's does not need your FOID card for a firearm purchase. You will show it to the FFL where you have the gun shipped to.
Bud's only needs a copy of you FOID card if you are having ammo shipped to your house.
Stay safe & have a great day!
Email it to ffl@budsgunshop.com
When you go to pick up your ammo at your designated FFL.
I would guess to the FFL when you pick up your new rifle.
