IL resident buying a gun in MO?

[bulletsnbows]

I was thinking about heading down to the Cabela's in Hazelwood, MO and picking up a new 10/22.    Never tried buying a gun out of state.  Will the Mo store sell a gun to an IL resident?  (I have a FOID)

Do they apply the 24 hour wait for a long gun?  (I really don't want to drive down there two days in a row but I have $300 G.C. to Cabela's and this would be a good use of it)

Thanks,
Christine

You can buy the rifle but shipping and transfer will have to be through an Illinois FFL.  The Illinois FFL will have to do the background check and comply with the required waiting period.  The Illinois FFL will charge you for this service.  Taken as a whole, the process is not worth it unless you are getting a very good deal from the Missouri dealer.  I hope this helps.

I bought a rifle at a Missouri Wal-Mart.  Being an Illinois resident, I had to swing by the next day after 24 hours had passed.  Handguns likely require a transfer, but long guns do not.

Check around on the price.  As a general rule, stay away from Cabelas, Bass Pro Shops, and Gander Mountain.

MB is correct.  You can buy a long gun in any state that "touches" your home state.  (IN, WI, KY, MO, IA)Handguns need to be transferred to an FFL in your state.  Waiting period would apply for your home state (24 hrs here).

Thanks everyone!

I guess I can find $300 worth of other stuff to buy at Cabela's.   

I'll look for a 10/22 closer to home.
