Can non-residents purchase firearms in Illinois?

Yes, with a valid FOID card
Yes, but only at gun shows
No, under no circumstances
Yes, if they have a valid hunting license

The correct answer is: No, under no circumstances

Illinois state law strictly prohibits the purchase of firearms by non-residents. This means that options A, B, and D are incorrect. Option A mentions a valid FOID card, which is only issued to residents of Illinois. Option B mentions gun shows, but all buyers, including non-residents, must adhere to the state's laws regarding firearm purchases. Option D mentions a valid hunting license, but this only applies to residents of Illinois. Therefore, the only correct option is C, which states that non-residents cannot purchase firearms in Illinois under any circumstances.
