Someone from Illinois, please educate me. If I’m an Illinois resident, and I cross state lines to buy a firearm, aren’t I still subject to the laws of my home state? Illinois laws are ID card, background check, and 72 hour waiting period.
I’m asking for real here, guys. I’m fixing to go to Wisconsin if you tell me what I want to hear.
Buying a firearm has different rules than simply possessing a firearm.
Buying one entails compliance with various federal laws. Kyle was simply loaned one, by someone in WI. As long as he wasn't prohibited from possession by federal law (he wasn't), WI state laws apply.
Yes. I live in IL and when I buy long guns in Indiana I have to wait 3 days. Pistols have to be shipped to an Illinois based ffl. Foid cards are even required to purchase ammo out of state.
Thanks, buddy. That’s what I thought. I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about this whole situation. Yes I think it was self defense, but I wish the lawfulness of him having a firearm was less controversial, because it just gives more fuel to the fire.

The second guy to respond to you has the correct answer regarding the legality of possession. He did not buy a gun in WI.
