10/22 legal or not in Cook County?

I'm in a non-home rule town in cook county. I'm reading conflicting responses on the internet but I take it they are banned. If I have to I would keep it in storage in DuPage but is it required by law that the shop I purchase it from need "proof" of that I store it somewhere else since my FOID is a cook county address? Is the purchase flagged in anyway? Thanks

 

Also tried searching the website but get 404 error.

The shop you purchase from needs nothing by law afaik but some, by their own policy, may not sell to you an item on the list if your address is in Cook regardless of where you plan to keep it.

 

Are you positive a 10-22 is on the list? I dont think it is called out by name.

How would you go about asking a shop their policy? I would think they would think it is some sort of "trap" to bring it up. Kind of like just bringing it up will make them not want anything to do with you. I will be buying online and having it sent to a local shop, so if they do not sell to me then I might be in the hole for shipping back and some other fees they want to make up :laugh:

 

So maybe a Ruger 10/22 takedown with flash suppressor is legal in Cook County?

 

Assault weapon means:

 

(1)

 

A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a large capacity magazine detachable or otherwise A 10/22 has the capacity to accept a large capacity magazine, even though it only comes with a 10 round mag, because it can accept higher capacity mags?

 

AND one or more of the following:

 

(A)

 

Only a pistol grip without a stock attached; does not apply to 10/22

 

( :cool:

 

Any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; does not apply to 10/22

A folding, telescoping or thumbhole stock; does not apply to 10/22

 

(D)

 

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; or does not apply to 10/22

 

(E)

 

A muzzle brake or muzzle compensator; the 10/22 Im looking at has a flash suppressor, is that the same?

 

(2)

 

A semiautomatic pistol or any semi-automatic rifle that has a fixed magazine, that has the capacity to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition; the 10/22 does not have a fixed magazine so the muzzle brake above does not apply?

 

That sound correct? Thanks

Flash suppressors and compensators are not the same. Some municipalities ban flash suppressors. Some ban compensators. Most 10/22s have neither.

 

The compensator rule applies to you, because the 10/22 does not have an internal magazine.

 

So don't unscrew the flash suppressor and attach a compensator. If you ever shoot in a line, the people next to you will appreciate it, too.

I have always interpreted this to include the stock and that all semi-auto long guns are banned.

 

The stock partially encircles the barrel.

At this point who really cares, just dont get caught. Its all unconstitutional. These laws are designed to screw people like us over, while the gang bangers on the south side get off with time served for possessing a handgun and also discharging it in public (all without a FOID card)

Correction, it’s been legislated against. Just because some idiot wrote a law against it , and others voted to ratify it, doesn’t make it unconstitutional. What’s unconstitutional is trying to deprive citizens of inalienable rights protected BY the constitution.

Stock != Barrel Shroud

In reality the stock extending to cover the barrel isn't a shroud. But how it is worded in the law, can be interpreted as such. I have seen other AWB (California's for one) that and language " not including the stock".

Stock != Barrel ShroudWhat is a barrel shroud exactly then? Barrel shroud is a totally made up term.
Handguard.
