Heard on the news that they were setting up a new task force to stop illegal firearms coming into the state. What constitutes an illegal firearm? I am heading to a gunshow in april in an ajoining state, if I were to buy a gun there (legally) would I be breaking some law?
Thanks,
Thanks,

By your post, the whole purpose of you going out of state to buy a gun, is BECAUSE it is illegal where you live. Is this right? If so, not a smart move.
People that "move to" California find out right away, that some of the firearms that they have had for years are totally illegal where they just moved to. They have to sell them somewhere else, store them in some other state, or they are now, criminals.

Concerning federal laws, there is no problem buying a LONG gun out of state.
Be it from a dealer, or private party.
Our club shoots the high power match, at the same time, as we shoot our pistol match. I have said that one of these days, I am going to go up there and see what it is all about. I can hear some of the RO's (SO?) calls, but have never shot, or attended one. Good luck on finding the "right" rifle.

With some exceptions, the Gun Control Act of 1968 prohibits the transfer of ownership or shipment of firearms from one State to another by unlicensed individuals. Only holders of a Federal Firearms License may lawfully ship and transfer ownership of firearms in interstate commerce and only to other holders of the FFL. This does not; however, preclude the purchase of a firearm in another State by an individual. The purchaser, in this case, must have the firearm shipped from the State where the gun was purchased to a FFL holder in Illinois who then can legally transfer the firearm to the purchaser as describe above.
There are two exceptions to this rule. The first is the Contiguous State Rule which allows Illinois citizens to legally purchase and take possession of long guns (but not handguns) in contiguous states including Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky and Indiana if the legal requirements of both Illinois and the State of purchase are met. Handguns are not included in this rule and can only be legally transferred between FFL holders in both States. The other exception is the shipment by the legal owner of any firearm to a gunsmith or other repair facility that is located outside of the State of Illinois for the purpose of repair, upgrading, etc. The firearm can then be legally shipped directly back to the owner after the work is completed.
