Were you aware of this law, I just saw it for the first time, but it's been on the books for years. I've bought alot of handguns from dealers in Illinois and never had them ask me the questions this law requires an FFL to record.
Scary law, and I bet alot of FFL holders in Illinois don't even know it exists.
