Hey everyone...
Suppose someone wants to buy a long gun from a private party in Illinois. The Illinois legal code in ILCS 430, section 3, paragraph (b) says, among other things:
This is referring to the record of the transfer that the transferor is required to keep for 10 years. Additionally, it needs to include the transferee's FOID number, the serial number, etc. Those make sense...
What I can't figure out is what the "date of application" is. I searched the entire ILCS 430 for the word application, and this is the only use that is not associated with applying for a FOID card.
My best theory is that it's the date that the transferee agrees to take the firearm, and that it has to show that the transferor waited the appropriate period (24 hours for a long gun) before actually transferring.
Anyone else know better?
