| Can I Have Ammo Shipped To My Door In Illinois |
The Good News (cue celebratory music)
Yes, Virginia (or should we say Illinois) you can get ammo shipped straight to your door! That's right, with the proper precautions, you can skip the grumpy range master's lectures on ammo scarcity and stock up from the comfort of your couch.
Here's the skinny:
- You'll need a Firearm Owner's Identification Card (FOID). This is basically your passport to the world of legal ammo purchases in Illinois. Don't have one? Get on it, champ!
- The ammo needs to be shipped by a common carrier, which is just a fancy way of saying a reputable delivery service like UPS or FedEx. No shady back-alley ammo deals here.
- The shipping address has to match the address on your FOID card and government ID. No funny business!
Now, before you go on a virtual ammo buying spree, there's a little snag...
QuickTip: Look for patterns as you read.
