roundkot Posted December 10, 2018 at 04:58 PM Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 04:58 PM Folks, does anyone know if it is legal to own it in Cook County?I was about to order it from Buds, they list the rifle as semi-auto and mention that semiautomatic rifles are prohibited in Cook County. This seems clear enough, but thought I'd ask in case I am missing something. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sweeper13 Posted December 10, 2018 at 05:20 PM Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 05:20 PM Im not sure. BUT.... I would call Buds and ask them if they will ship to you. If not, keep shopping. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoresident Posted December 10, 2018 at 05:39 PM Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 05:39 PM 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.

roundkot Posted December 10, 2018 at 06:05 PM Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 06:05 PM Thanks. Bud's answer is a no. I'll keep shopping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patriots & Tyrants Posted December 10, 2018 at 06:17 PM Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 06:17 PM Buds is very clear; no shipping semi automatic rifles to Cook County period. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/illinois_restrictions.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Euler Posted December 10, 2018 at 09:22 PM Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 09:22 PM Buds is very clear; no shipping semi automatic rifles to Cook County period. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/illinois_restrictions.pdf 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roundkot Posted December 10, 2018 at 10:50 PM Author Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 10:50 PM Thanks. I'd rather take my business elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DomG Posted December 10, 2018 at 11:44 PM Share Posted December 10, 2018 at 11:44 PM A few years ago Bud's wouldn't ship me 15 round S&W magazines to Aurora (DuPage County). Bud's is one notch above Dick's and Nike in my list of places to patronize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spanishjames Posted December 11, 2018 at 04:42 AM Share Posted December 11, 2018 at 04:42 AM There are plenty of shops in Cook County selling 10/22s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McCroskey Posted December 11, 2018 at 05:06 AM Share Posted December 11, 2018 at 05:06 AM 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...

chicagoresident Posted December 11, 2018 at 05:10 AM Share Posted December 11, 2018 at 05:10 AM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagoresident Posted December 11, 2018 at 04:33 PM Share Posted December 11, 2018 at 04:33 PM 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.

Mayonaise Posted December 11, 2018 at 08:52 PM Share Posted December 11, 2018 at 08:52 PM 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
