Fordfan Posted January 7, 2015 at 02:10 AM Posted January 7, 2015 at 02:10 AM I know that a foid card is needed in Illinois to buy ammo. What about reloading it? Can a person without a foid reload ammo and still be legal? As far as I know a foid is not required to buy the componants for reloading. And then again I might be wrong. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

kster Posted January 7, 2015 at 02:29 AM Posted January 7, 2015 at 02:29 AM just like you'd be ok to buy a 80% lower without a FOID. but once you mill it out, you're illegally possesing a firearm
Googe1227 Posted January 7, 2015 at 02:58 AM Posted January 7, 2015 at 02:58 AM Just a few more reasons to ask myself "why do I still live in this state?"
mullet man Posted January 7, 2015 at 03:00 AM Posted January 7, 2015 at 03:00 AM Yeah and another reason to repeal the FOID

ljnowel Posted January 7, 2015 at 10:23 AM Posted January 7, 2015 at 10:23 AM FOID required for primers and powder I have never been asked for my FOID to buy primers or powder anywhere in IL. Further everytime I've bought ammo online from out of state they asked for FOID. I've bought powder and primers from multiple online vendors and NEVER had to submit a FOID.

TLR Rider Posted January 7, 2015 at 05:16 PM Posted January 7, 2015 at 05:16 PM FOID required for primers and powderwhat he said, all the way back to when i was a kid. In fact they wouldn't sell powder and primers to me when I was under 18 even with a FOID, so my grandpap would pick up the powder and "cap" (as he called them) and was more then happy to bust some clays with me and my reloaded ammo.

If it is there has to be a statute that could be found. If it is then about 3/4 gunshops are not in compliance. This is all the FOID act says about ammo: "Firearm ammunition" means any self-contained cartridge or shotgun shell, by whatever name known, which is designed to be used or adaptable to use in a firearm; excluding, however: (1) any ammunition exclusively designed for use with a device used exclusively for signalling or safety and required or recommended by the United States Coast Guard or the Interstate Commerce Commission; and (2) any ammunition designed exclusively for use with a stud or rivet driver or other similar industrial ammunition. And (2) No person may acquire or possess firearm ammunition within this State without having in his or her possession a Firearm Owner's Identification Card previously issued in his or her name by the Department of State Police under the provisions of this Act. Absolutely nothing is said regarding any components. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
mauserme Posted January 8, 2015 at 02:17 AM Posted January 8, 2015 at 02:17 AM I know that a foid card is needed in Illinois to buy ammo. What about reloading it? Can a person without a foid reload ammo and still be legal? As far as I know a foid is not required to buy the componants for reloading. And then again I might be wrong. Any help or insight would be appreciated. The FOID Act makes it illegal to possess ammunition without a FOID card, drawing no distinction between ammunition that was purchased or handloaded. So, no, you can't reload because as has been pointed out, possessing the finished ammunition would be in violation of the Act. The law is silent on possession of components.
borgranta Posted January 8, 2015 at 02:32 AM Posted January 8, 2015 at 02:32 AM Technically it is not illegal to possess the components without a FOID card but constructive possession could probably result in prosecution if you possess all the items needed to make live ammo. Some businesses do not let people buy black powder without a FOID card even though it is not required by law to do so.

kster Posted January 8, 2015 at 05:14 AM Posted January 8, 2015 at 05:14 AM main difference is the law vs store policy. store policy can enforce FOID and jumping on one foot while adding up prime numbers for 60seconds
DoverGunner Posted January 8, 2015 at 05:37 AM Posted January 8, 2015 at 05:37 AM FOID required for primers and powderThere seems to be confusion among dealers selling powder & primers whether you need a FOID card or not . Most require it some do not .Does anyone know for sure ??????

Nanook Posted January 22, 2015 at 03:21 AM Posted January 22, 2015 at 03:21 AM I've been asked in IL to show FOID when purchasing powder and primers, but wasn't sure if it was law or store policy. Even at gun shows, buying powder / primers they ask for FOID. It must be hit or miss, because some online vendors won't sell to IL residents without a FOID copy on file. (for ammo, powder and primers anyway) Bullet purchases online has never been a problem since they're inert metal to most reasonable people. Of course I remember the bad old days when they filled out a ledger when you bought ammo at most stores. Asking if the ammo you were buying is for a rifle or a handgun was always a good one too. I always said it was for a rifle no matter what caliber it was just to mess with them. The other day Megasports checked my birth date on the FOID while I was buying some 9mm SD ammo. I questioned the young man and he said they only do it for handgun ammo. It was the first time they had done it, so it must be a new thing for them.
wtr100 Posted January 22, 2015 at 03:38 AM Posted January 22, 2015 at 03:38 AM heck a few months ago I was asked for FOID for .22 cal pellets not a pellet gun - just the pellets oy
Googe1227 Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:25 AM Posted January 22, 2015 at 04:25 AM Good grief. This is a moving target. No pun intended. Company policy? State law? Ordinance? Fear? All of the above? None of the above and therefor just more BS for us to deal with? Knock wood I have never been asked for FOID when buying components online or in an Illinois LGS. Lucky? Who knows at this point.
