I have a question pertaining to who can legally be transferred a friend's two rifles from out of state and who just moved back home.
My friend lived in Boston for a little while and had his 2 rifles there. He moved back to Illinois just recently, where he previously owned a FOID card and also lived about 3 years ago. He had the guns shipped to a dealer here in Illinois that is close to home so he could pick them up. After he had them sent, he realized that his Illinois FOID card was no where to be found, and he must reapply for a replacement while living back here. So now the dealer in Illinois has his 2 guns, but he has no FOID card to take them back into possession with in Illinois.
He asked me if he could keep the guns in my vault for now, since the only place he shoots them is on our personal range, and since he currently has no FOID card to possess them with.
So my question is this. Can I pick up my friend's guns from the dealer who has them, and keep them in my possession until his FOID card shows up and he can take them back?
I was not sure if they would have to be physically transferred to me like a purchase, or if he, being the legal owner of the guns, can simply give consent to the dealer for me to temporarily possess them with my permit.
I love Illinois. :banghead:
