Beastmod Posted July 30, 2021 at 10:56 PM Share Posted July 30, 2021 at 10:56 PM hello everyone, can anyone time me if Illinois have a limit on the number of firearms you can buy per year. someone told me you can only buy 3 or 4 guns a year and I was wondering how true that was, cause I'm on my 3rd buy this month.

Bubbacs Posted July 30, 2021 at 11:44 PM Share Posted July 30, 2021 at 11:44 PM (edited) There's no limit. But if you take delivery of multiple guns at the same time from an FFL, the FFL will have to report the multiple sale.True or False and I thought you would know while we are on this kind of subject.You can only have up to 5 max firearms on any one 4473?Outside of the multiple reporting.........

once0217 Posted July 31, 2021 at 03:34 AM Share Posted July 31, 2021 at 03:34 AM From what I gather, you can buy as many long guns as you want, but if you buy 2 handguns in a 5day period it has to be reported to the feds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbacs Posted July 31, 2021 at 01:14 PM Share Posted July 31, 2021 at 01:14 PM Two or more on any one 4473 requires the report. But the OP's original question was how many can he buy in a year, not how many can he buy at one time.I was just looking to confirm the 5 per form.Wasn’t changing the OP.But assumed you would know as good as anyone. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Daley Jr. sued for the multiple purchase records, and I recall that he won.He has my name.My very first purchase was a multiple, and in retrospect I would not have done that.

InterestedBystander Posted July 31, 2021 at 04:10 PM Share Posted July 31, 2021 at 04:10 PM I think there is also a multi long gun reporting requirement in some areas e.g. AZ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealcala31 Posted July 31, 2021 at 11:15 PM Share Posted July 31, 2021 at 11:15 PM There is no limit on how many guns you can buy in one year in the State of IL. During Christmas, I did a transfer for one of my best customers, I transferred 14 guns on 1 4473 form. There is no limit on how many guns you can buy in 1 4473 transaction form. In the past, we put additional firearms on a blank sheet of paper, 100% federally legal. When they changed the 4473 forms in November of 2020, the ATF created a "continuation form" to add additional firearms outside of the original 4473 form.
