(6,185 posts)Ever tried to actually buy one across the state line in Indiana or Wisconsin?
I do both all the time and have for decades.
And I have seen people from Chicago walk into a gun store I was in and try to buy a handgun. When they are told they can't sell to them, based on their home address, they get really pissed at the store owner as if they made the regulations.
Not trying to be a smart ass, at least not yet anyway, but buying guns, especially in Illinois, is a hell of a lot more complicated and highly regulated than many people here seem to think it is. They buy into the stupid "Gun Show Loophole" and think you just walk in, put your money down and drive away with your AK-47.
It's not complicated for a gang banger though. They send family and friends down to Alabama or Mississippi or Tennessee and have other family members buy their guns in different stores around the state. Then they drive them back up to Englewood, Chatham or Pilsen and sell a few to pay for the trip and keep the rest.
