TFB Behind the Gun #149: Navigating Tricky IL Gun Laws w/ David S
Over the last 5 years of working here at TFB, I’ve had the opportunity to meet a lot of you who are avid readers, watchers, and listeners of what we put out here. Through meeting a lot of you, I’ve also learned a great deal about firearms subjects that I would normally never be able to approach on my own – such as the intricacies of owning a firearm in the state of Illinois. As you’ll hear today, I’m not the only one who is often confused with how Americans get a hold of firearms legally in the state. Today David is going to walk us through what it is like being either a current or new resident of Illinois and what steps you have to take in order to exercise your Second Amendment rights and avoid running into legal trouble with the state.

TFB Behind the Gun #149: Navigating Tricky IL Gun Laws w/ David S
Welcome back to another episode of TFB’s Behind the Gun Podcast. Today I’d like to introduce all of you to Dave S who not only has a ton of experience in today’s topic but also has a lifetime of experience working with small arms and even crew-served weapons as part of the U.S Army. In addition to his skillsets, Dave has also been an avid supporter of both TFB and TFBTV so when the topic of Illinois gun law came up, I could think of no one better to talk to than him. Today Dave is going to take us through the considerably confusing world of firearms ownership in the State of Illinois. While it is indeed possible to own guns in IL, the current laws on the books combined with the culture that’s put out by the media mean that a lot of people just don’t know what the rules are when it comes to buying, owning, and using firearms in their home state. Dave has spent a lifetime collecting, building, and shooting guns in IL and is here today to help guide us through the processes we’d need to go through if we lived in the state too. So please give your attention and a warm welcome to David S! David posts about firearms topics and thoughts every Monday on Facebook.
