right now I'm residing in Evanston, IL, but originally I hailed from Los Angeles, CA. from what I've gathered, it is possible to obtain a handgun even if your identification do not quite meet the desired specifications in order for the proposal to be cleared by the law (depending on the state).
so given that i already possess a valid CA state drivers license, as well as some official identification in the form of a passport, does anyone have any experiences or recommendations pertaining to how i might be able to obtain a handgun in a state where i lack state ID or proof of residency without causing too many impossible complications? current situation: right now I'm residing in Evanston, IL, but originally I hailed from Los Angeles, CA which is where my valid driver's license belongs to. from what I've gathered, it's possible to obtain a handgun even if one's identifications do not quite meet the desired specifications in order for the proposal to be cleared by the law (depending on the state). given that i own a valid CA state drivers license, as well as some official identification in the form of a passport, does anyone have any experiences or recommendations pertaining to how i might be able to obtain a handgun without running into excessive red tap and maybe avoid causing too many complications? well, any tips regarding how one might go about this issue would be much appreciated! any valid sources or tried and true methods should please be forwarded to my personal e-mail address whenever possible, which is:[url="mailto:"]jobball25@aol.com[/url]

I say this, not because I'm mean-spirited, but because I am able to recognize the symptoms. Your complex -- but incoherent -- reasoning for enlisting our aid in committing a federal felony indicates that you have a severe problem.
I urge you to get professional help. If you need assistance locating it in Evanston, please contact me by email.

And as 55840 said- by FEDERAL law, you may only purchase a HANDGUN in the state where you are a legal resident. By attempting to do so, you are commiting a serious crime. By soliciting aid from folks here to do that, you seek to make them an accessory before the fact- which carries the same penalty as the crime. Also known as conspiracy.
That is not a nice thing to do- so stop it.
511- you need paragraphs! And no, you do not need to be a diplomat or consul to have a passport- just an American citizen that travels outside the US.
Or I could have said, become a legal resident, get an FOID card, and buy a gun from a dealer.
The English language is best used when as few words as possible are used to communicate a thought completely.
No, you don't. My wife is a British subject, and a permanent resident of the US. That is known as a resident alien. It is perfectly legal for her to buy a firearm. She has also held a concealed weapons license. Please read the Federal law- its 18 USC 922.
And the term is consul. A consultate is a building. Why do you assume that having a passport makes a person an alien? Mine is in my computer bag right now. If I take a business trip outside the US, I must have a US Passport.
