Cordell34 Posted September 22, 2017 at 08:47 PM Share Posted September 22, 2017 at 08:47 PM So it seems like you may have Purchased a Rifle that may be Banned within Cook County Limits. They want documentation showing that the County where you reside is not in Cook County. Being that Palatine is in Fact in Cook County I'm not sure what your options are.

exred Posted September 22, 2017 at 10:00 PM Author Share Posted September 22, 2017 at 10:00 PM I did not buy a rifle, I have bought 2 pistols that I'm using with brace right now, but would like to put original stock. I do have C&R license as well. I was told that C&R license helps when applying for SBR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not the only one getting this from the ATF re Cook county http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=66672&hl= I know that city of Palatine have there own rule on fire arms I just can't find any information.How do you know this? I looked in the muni codes and could find nothing approving nor banning AWBs/firearms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want documentation showing that the County where you reside is not in Cook County. Being that Palatine is in Fact in Cook County I'm not sure what your options are.I interpreted as they want a reference that Palatine being Home Rule has passed a code saying AWB (Cook code SBR=AWB) is legal, thus overriding County code. But unless you are, I assume, like Hoffman Estates making allowances for a store like Cabelas, most codes I have seen are more what you can't do instead of what you can. Are there any gun stores in Palatine and do they sell ARs or others on banned list? No clue on nuances of HomeRule within incorporated and unincorporated Cook (not sure where Palatine falls within) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marie Posted September 23, 2017 at 12:57 PM Share Posted September 23, 2017 at 12:57 PM No gun stores in Palatine. The closest thing is the Walmart that sells ammo. There is a member on Arfcom that got his SBR application signed by the Palatine police chief without issue. That was a year or two back. I have an email from the 2nd in command of the Palatine PD that they have no issues with ARs. No response to my question about the supposed Cook AWB.
