cnwfan3 Posted March 10, 2022 at 11:07 PM Share Posted March 10, 2022 at 11:07 PM Has anyone purchased or tried to purchase ammo online with one of the new foid cards without the expiration date yet? Just curious if online selling are actually following the process and doing the foid card check. I suspect many online seller will stop selling to IL (I hope I'm wrong). Anyone have success?

Rmac702 Posted March 10, 2022 at 11:12 PM Share Posted March 10, 2022 at 11:12 PM Good question, I'm following the thread. I will be receiving a new FOID/CCL soon, and my old FOID is still good for two more years, so I don't expect a problem just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cnwfan3 Posted March 12, 2022 at 12:00 AM Author Share Posted March 12, 2022 at 12:00 AM I just submitted my new foid (without the expiration date) at https://www.natchezss.com/. I guess I'll see shortly how they handle it. Nobody tried to buy ammo yet online with the new foid cards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cnwfan3 Posted March 16, 2022 at 01:41 AM Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 at 01:41 AM Here's an update. I just received and email back from https://www.natchezss.com/ that said my foid card has been updated on my account and I'm good to go. So it looks like at least Natchez Shooter Supply is willing to use the new foid cards and do the foid check. This is good news as I though nobody would be willing to sell to IL anymore if the our foid card didn't have an expiration date anymore. If anyone has experience with any other online sellers that are willing to sell ammo using the new foid cards, please share. As I upload my foid to other sellers, I'll update this thread.

Quiet Observer Posted March 16, 2022 at 02:32 AM Share Posted March 16, 2022 at 02:32 AM Thanks for doing the research and reporting the outcome. Too many make assumptions and never follow up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illinois_buckeye Posted March 16, 2022 at 03:13 AM Share Posted March 16, 2022 at 03:13 AM Well I suppose as long as isp website is working it’s easy enough to check. Probably takes 5 minutes for them to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ealcala31 Posted March 16, 2022 at 03:23 PM Share Posted March 16, 2022 at 03:23 PM I am betting that most out of state sellers are not well versed on the new FOID Check rules. I'm thinking it will take a few years for them to understand how it works. That's where we'll see if their shipping policy to IL will change.

cnwfan3 Posted March 16, 2022 at 08:51 PM Author Share Posted March 16, 2022 at 08:51 PM That's what I was thinking as well. But Natchez Shooters Supply took my new foid (with no exp date) and said I'm good to buy ammo from them. Now whether or not they are actually running the foid check is another story. I'm going to try a few other places as well and see what they say (Target sports, SGammo, Midway, etc). Hopefully I'll have good results there too.

JDW Posted March 16, 2022 at 08:55 PM Share Posted March 16, 2022 at 08:55 PM Hi All, Can someone give me the Cliffs Notes on this no expiry on the new FOID cards? I haven't been around much? What's the deal with that? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinois_buckeye Posted March 16, 2022 at 09:16 PM Share Posted March 16, 2022 at 09:16 PM My understanding, and it's this way when I got my new combo FOID/CCL card, is that your FOID shows no expiration date on the card itself as before. However, if you log into the portal you would have used when you applied for your FOID/CCL, you can see there is clearly and expiration date there. So when you go to purchase ammunition or a firearm, the FFL is supposed to run your FOID card number through a check to determine if your FOID is valid. Although things could change again, as apparently the state supreme court was hearing arguments regarding the FOID today, as well as the US Supreme Court has the case I think from NY regarding their status as a May Issue state in regards to getting a CCL. Depending how those 2 cases go and if the US Supreme Court really pushes the limits, who knows what that will look like for Illinois. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euler Posted March 27, 2022 at 08:13 AM Share Posted March 27, 2022 at 08:13 AM I noticed that Battlehawk Armory (in Iowa) has (recently, I think) adopted a policy that it will not ship ammo to anywhere in Illinois, presumably in response to the new FOID. We join the list whose previous and ongoing members include California, New Jersey, New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and DC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illinois_buckeye Posted March 28, 2022 at 12:18 AM Share Posted March 28, 2022 at 12:18 AM May start looking locally again. My local rural king had 200 rounds of brownells 9mm for 85. That price isn’t great but about average as to what’s online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louie25 Posted May 14, 2022 at 09:19 PM Share Posted May 14, 2022 at 09:19 PM I recently purchased ammo from Roger's Sporting Goods using my CCL/foid combo with no expiration date. No issues! Whether they ran the card validation portion for ammo sales I can't say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
