ruger 10/22 in cook county

Recommended Posts

It has to be semiautomatic with another feature. So a pistol grip (or hole in the stock), more then a 10 round magazine, a "barrel shroud" (vaguely defined), or a threaded barrel.

 

Just a regular rifle stocked 10/22 with a 10 round or shipped with no magazine is legal in Cook County.

 

It's rediculous because it's not up to Bud's to determine final sale, it's up to the FFL. And the FFL can't really make the call because despite your address being in Cook you may be keeping it at a second home or cabin outside of Cook County.

Buds is very clear; no shipping semi automatic rifles to Cook County period.

That. It's a Bud's policy, not the law.

 

You can try to argue store policy with vendors, but it won't get you anywhere. They're not lawyers, so their approach is that if they have to expend even the slightest effort to understand the stupid laws where you live, it's just easier not to sell to you.

 

FWIW, I got my 10/22 from Grab-A-Gun.

Good old Cook County Brady Ban.

 

Check your local town ordinances for firearms laws. By my understanding, the Cook ban doesn't apply if you live in a home rule community and have a conflicting law on the books for your municipality. Not that it will help you with Bud's...

I bought mine from CDNN and a buddy bought two the next week.

CDNN will let you buy Cook noncompliant stuff through an FFL. But will not ship stuff like magazines directly to your house that come even close to the limit, legal or not. Found this out when I bought a handgun from them then tried ordering another magazine. Showed them the law saying it was compliant but no go.

I've found this to be false. I buy 15 round Sig mags from them frequently. Their website is a hard no, but calling them, they let you order the mags and ship them to your house. I've ordered 4 this way.

I'm glad they decided to change their policy. They refused a 15 round mag order even after I provided the full Chicago legal text with relative highlighting and a link to the municipal code. Sounds like that got to the right people to make the change in policy.

 

Maybe I'll give CDNN a second chance because they always had excellent prices, fast shipping, and decent customer service up to that point.

My guess is Bud's has had a lot of people ordering stuff to an FFL, the FFL informs the buyer it's not legal where the buyer intends to keep it, and back to Bud's it goes. The margins are razor thin in the online gun game so a few mulligans make a policy.

 

Nope. Bud's is the Dick's of gun shops. They canceled my order for a handgun because the mag held 15 rounds. Called and emailed them the laws for Chicago and still they said they could not sell to me.
