Chicago Assault Weapon Ban

I have reviewed the CPD ordinances and tried to look this up online but cannot find anything that clarifies the question.

If you live in Chicago can you own an "Assault Weapon" by the city definition and store it out of Chicago? Is that legal? Everything I have read leads me to believe it is as long as you do not enter the city with it but I could not find any specifics on how the law would view that.

    Interesting thought.

    There are some in England that own firearms .... they just keep them across the water in europe. [:)]
    So it has happened then, England has seceded from Europe!
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    And fiery auto crashes
    Some will die in hot pursuit
    While sifting through my ashes
    Some will fall in love with life
    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche
    Coming down the mountain

    It is a city ordinance not a state law so yes.
    Illinois the state has not enacted a AWB as of yet so as a resident, state will not bother you as long as you have a FOID card.
    Shotguns and large caliber bolt action/ pump rifles are legal in the city, handguns are legal by permit.

    Cook County has a ban. I am not sure if it applies to the entire county or if it only applies to the un-incorporated areas.
