I live in Illinois and have a valid FOID. Can I legally purchase a firearm and have it shipped to my address in IL?

That is what I thought. Thank you for confirming.
Hi Joseph,
I am also from Illinois. Yes, you can Iegally purchase a firearm from Buds and have it shipped to your FFL in IL (Buds will only ship to FFL). After you purchase a firearm from Buds, they will ask you to send a copy of your FOID through email or fax (your choice). Then you need to contact your FFL about your purchase so that they can send a copy of their FFL license to Buds (send a copy of your FOID to your FFL too). The firearm will be ship to your FFL where they will run a background check on you and start a 72 hour waiting period. Then you can get your gun. Noted that Buds have a list of FFL on file, use this (budsgunshop.com/ffl.php) to search for your FFL. Cheers.

Joseph, no Sir. Firearms other than certain Black Powder Firearms must be shipped to a Licensed Dealer for transfer to you by Federal Law. Cheers and stay safe!
