tricolor Posted March 18, 2018 at 12:31 AM Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 12:31 AM Question for the group - If someone had a Chicago address, and ordered an AR/AK/whatever to an FFL located outside of Cook County, how common is it for the FFL to give the buyer trouble due to the address? (If the firearm is not possessed inside the City or the County there is no violation) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(If the firearm is not possessed inside the City or the County there is no violation)Dont know about "common" but there certainly are those that have a policy not to sell certain firearms, e.g. those on the Cook AWB list, to those with a Cook address. Pretty much their business, their policy, but they should readily disclose that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WitchDoctor Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:02 AM Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:02 AM This was a nice Browning bolt action in.223 and a quality optic and case. My FFL was in Kankakee.They rang it up, sent mere a receipt and then canceled two days later.I live in Cook and that was the reason. Legal, but they would not do it.

tricolor Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:40 AM Author Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:40 AM Do you guys typically contact the FFL before placing the order to find out the story? I'd like to make a purchase but the thought of a 10 to 20% restocking fee on a large purchase b/c some FFL has a problem makes me hesitant to place the order.

WitchDoctor Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:50 AM Share Posted March 18, 2018 at 04:50 AM I did not, thinking legal gun, no trouble. Being in a 606xx area killed the deal. Another company handled it easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultralisk Posted March 20, 2018 at 03:06 PM Share Posted March 20, 2018 at 03:06 PM The thread is asking does the FFL have an issue with it, but all of the post are talking about the retailers cancelling the orders, so what are we talking about? Anyway, Blackhawk tactical who is located in Cook will transfer anything. Its the individuals responsibility to be legal not the responsibility of an FFL to infringe upon your second amendment rights. Of course a retailer can enact any policy but FFLs are not always retailers. With banned weapons like AK/AR the retailer is following the law, with handguns nothing is restricted but retailers are still refusing to ship. You can buy anything in person but were missing out on all the online deals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
