My question stays the same what does your local FFL say? i think there are a lot that will say no.
IIRC the first case has 4 FFLs listed, the second had about 70, assuming the third had similar numbers chances are your local FFL is not a plaintiff anyway and can't say anything but no.

Yup, if you are on any of the TRO's, you can buy/sell with anyone else on any of the TRO's.
I would also assume a plaintiff can buy non-firearm items (such as magazines) out of state from anyone willing to sell them to you, and bring them back in state.
Firearms are a different story since an out of state FFL would still have to comply with IL laws, so not being a plaintiff would mean the transfer would be barred, but they could theoretically ship to a plaintiff FFL in state for you to pick it up, again assuming you can find an FFL willing to conduct the sale in the first place.

Marijuana is still illegal per federal government, so until they declare it a legal substance that anyone can use freely; I don't see how the states are getting away with this.
The fact that the federal government doesn't have the manpower to enforce its laws without help from the states. Same goes for immigration law, and now gun control laws as more and more states decide they are through helping.

The WHO does have that power????
A higher court, or perhaps the same court but not at this point in the case.
It may also be that a TRO is not the appropriate relief for non-plaintiffs and an injunction is needed instead? Or maybe those are legalese for the same thing? I don't typically follow state-level cases.

A pistol with a 10.5" barrel is at 29" OAL (extended brace to end of barrel). There aren't a ton of good working options under 26" that would be subject to the ATF insurrection. There may be some 300 blackouts with short enough barrels but the ballistics of 223/556 get really bad as you get shorter.
Assuming we are only talking about braced ARs. Other pistols are a different store, I believe a CZ Skorpion with a folding brace comes in at 25.5in. A Micro Draco AK would be even shorter.

Can we even register a brace in IL without being a CCR?
Then I still have to register the weapon with IL?? What the hey!!!
Don't quote me on since there was a lot of confusion when it was passed but IIRC you only need a CCR for <26in OAL. <16in barrel with >26in OAL doesn't need CCR.
In any case I would hope the ATF would take a pending CCR application along with the form 1 and let it play out as long as everything is filed within 120 days.

Not if he is one of the plaintiff's on record.
I would hope if his local FFL is a plaintiff they would be aware of that and proceed accordingly.

Does anyone have any insight on this? My Local FFL will not transfer any Glock 19 or clone like pistols because they are capable of accepting a higher cap magazine.
Local farm stores are selling G19s.
I cant imagine the larger corporations being on the wrong side of this.
I would much rather give my business to the local FFL, but this law is so muddy I'm not sure who may be right.
The ability to accept a magazine (of any capacity) merely triggers the feature test, which a Glock 19 passes. The gun is legal, magazines over 15 rounds are not.
(C) A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine or that may be readily modified to accept a detachable magazine, if the firearm has one or more of the following: (i) a threaded barrel; (ii) a second pistol grip or another feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; (iii) a shroud attached to the barrel or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel; (iv) a flash suppressor; (v) the capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip; or (vi) a buffer tube, arm brace, or other part that protrudes horizontally behind the pistol grip and is designed or redesigned to allow or facilitate a firearm to be fired from the shoulder. -

Of course they are subjective, although much less so now if the procedures are followed with multiple officers present with bodycams, in the end that observational testing would have to have the same followup blood/urine testing once valid probable cause is established from the observation test.
I've only had to do sobriety tests twice in my life, but neither time were multiple officers present, I don't think the officer had a body camera either time, and one of them the officer even had me move to the side of his cruiser so I wasn't on the dash cam. No matter what "procedures" are in place officers will find ways to not follow them.
And following up with a blood/urine test simply goes back to the my original point about THC concentrations in the blood not being predictive as to level of inebriation for a particular individual.

That is where observational field impairment testing comes into play.
The tests are subjective and can often be deemed inadmissible in court if standardized procedures aren't followed to the letter. That's why even after conducing a field sobriety test cops will still send you for a blood or breath test.

The melting point law predates them both, so prosecutors have more choice in how to charge you and the FFL who transferred a ZAMAK firearm to you.
So it looks like the melting point law only applies to handguns, and not rifles like the Hi-Point Carbine. It also only applies to FFLs manufacturing or selling to non-FFLs, not mere possession by an individual, or to private sales.
(h) While holding any license as a dealer, importer,manufacturer or pawnbroker under the federal Gun Control Act of 1968, manufactures, sells or delivers to any unlicensed person a handgun having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver which is a die casting of zinc alloy or any other nonhomogeneous metal which will melt or deform at a temperature of less than 800 degrees Fahrenheit. For purposes of this paragraph, (1) "firearm" is defined as in the Firearm Owners Identification Card Act; and (2) "handgun" is defined as a firearm designed to be held and fired by the use of a single hand, and includes a combination of parts from which such a firearm can be assembled. -

For how many years have we been saying that guns and alcohol don't mix? Alcohol is a mind and mood altering compound and cannabis has similar effects. The problem is that there is no test in place yet (that I know of) to test a person's level of inebriation.
Part of that issue is that unlike alcohol a simple % test isn't predictive as to a person's level of inebriation, one person might have a relatively high mg/kg THC level and be perfectly coherent and cognizant, while another could have a fairly low level and be totally out of it.
-
Hi-Point carbines are banned by name in Cook County, and in the new state ban. I believe they also would be banned by features under both laws, so the melting point wouldn't even apply.

I found terms and conditions for firearms sales,
https://www.campingworld.com/terms-and-condition.html#:~:text=All firearms MUST be picked,and local laws may vary
Including this gem:
You understand that the firearm(s) you have purchased will be shipped to your local Gander Outdoors store or to an FFL dealer in the area. The firearm(s) must be paid for using a Credit Card under your name and must be picked up by (you) the purchaser with valid photo identification.
ie, no cash sales, so you must use a credit card code that says you bought something at a gun store?
But looking further, I couldn't find any firearms to buy.
Goodnight.
I wouldn't expect Gander to be using the gun store CC code since (I assume) most of their business is non-gun.

I wish pot users could be honest with themselves. There is always a more effective option for every health concern. Just admit you like to get high. To test this just allow THC pills that do not provide a high.
We already have that, there are plenty of products that are high in CBD (which doesn't get you high) but contain almost no THC (which does get you high)

So if they gave an Indiana area code, nothing happened. Sale went on like normal. Guess that's how they got away with asking where Indiana residents lived without asking for ID...because of illinois people.
They must changed that policy at some point and would just ask me for ID right away when I bought ammo, then when I show an IL ID ask for the FOID. As such it should come as no surprise they won't sell mags to IL residents.
I honestly don't think I've bought ammo there since moving to IN 3 years ago so I don't know if they still did ammo that way too.

When I lived in Cook County elections for offices like state rep, state senator, mayor, village trustee, etc were more often than not uncontested. Even US representative might as well have been, the republican candidate typically received little to no support or funding from the party and basically just there because no one else wanted their name on the ballot.

I am thinking about how many other laws can be challenged and over turned because of that carveout.
I'm pretty sure all the local AWBs have LEO carve outs as well, so those would all be toast too.
-
I still find it odd they demand you dispose of or alter the brace if you choose to remove it, but don't demand you dispose of or alter the short barrel if you decide to remove that instead.

Full faith and credit clause
There are multiple interstate compacts regulating driver's license reciprocity.
The full faith and credit clause is in respect to records, not licenses. It would apply to using a DL as identification in another state, but not as a license to operate a motor vehicle.

My driver's license works in every state why doesn't my CCW?????? Especially now that Bruen nuked the 2-step nonsense.
Driver's licenses are example of voluntary reciprocity working the way it should, but CCW never did work that way. Whether Bruen will change that is too early to tell, we are still waiting on the cases that got GVR'd to be decided again, let alone any new cases.

This is good ... as long as you're in Faulkner county. Outside of Faulkner you're a felon. We can't have laws at make it harder to be a legally armed citizen.
I mean, you're still a felon in Faulkner County, the feds just have to come an arrest you themselves, rather than having the Sheriff's dept do it for them.

Yes that's true, but you would still be in violation of Illinois state law... An inverse example would be weed. Ya, legal in Illinois, but not federal.
(Direct Illinois) Think about firearms by age or function, where federal law does not consider them firearms........ Under Il State law, and age, they are still firearms. Cliff notes: In Il, if it can fire, regardless of age, it's a firearm.
JQ
Well yes, if you bring it back into IL and you don't have a FOID you'd be in violation of the law, but I assume we all have FOIDs here, in which case IL can't do anything about what you do in another state (same way an Indiana resident can come here and buy weed and IN can't do anything about it, unless they bring it back to IN)
-
Yes certain air rifles are firearms in in Illinois and require FOID (and waiting period) to buy.
However they are not firearms under federal law and thus free from any restrictions if you buy in another state (store policies may vary)

Except those rewards come from law enforcement or are put up by family members of the victims. Under the Texas law you sue the person directly. That is a distinct difference.
