Question 13

How do I transfer a firearm to Illinois from another state?

Accepted Answer

To receive a firearm from an out-of-state dealer or private seller, you need an Illinois FFL dealer to accept the transfer. Law Weapons is a licensed FFL in Aurora, IL. Contact us at 630-317-7155 and we'll send our FFL license to the seller. They ship the firearm to our Aurora location, and you pick it up after the required 72-hour Illinois waiting period with your FOID card and State ID.

Question 14

What is a FOID card and do I need one?

Accepted Answer

A FOID (Firearm Owner's Identification) card is required by Illinois state law for any Illinois resident to legally possess firearms or ammunition. You apply through the Illinois State Police. We cannot sell or transfer a firearm to you without seeing a valid FOID card. If you don't have one yet, start the application at the Illinois State Police website before coming in.

Question 15

What is the Protect Illinois Communities Act (PICA)?

Accepted Answer

PICA is Illinois's 2023 assault weapons ban, which restricts the sale and possession of many semi-automatic rifles (like AR-15 style rifles) and standard capacity magazines. Law Weapons is actually the lead plaintiff in Bevis v. City of Naperville, the landmark case challenging this law. In the meantime, we offer the LAW-BOLT 15 bolt-action conversion that keeps your rifle PICA-compliant.

We offer firearm repair, Cerakote, custom builds, CNC machining, and optic cuts. Most Naperville customers schedule a drop-off and pickup over the phone.
