Brothers and Sisters of the Revolution,
I think what I am doing is legal, but I just want to double check with some of you. I am selling my Barrett M82 .50 cal. I live in MI, and this guy that made me the offer lives in Illinois (RIGHT away when he said that a red flag went up in my head). He lives in the south of Illinois- west of Springfield, so no Chicago. Really nice guy.
So, instead of shipping this gun, I figure why not drive it down? A very, very, good friend of mine lives a few hours away- I can make a trip out of it. Plus, there is a lot of money at stake here.
The plan is to drive it down and meet at the FFL dealer to do the transfer. Here is the question- Is it OK to drive in the state of Illinois with a 50 caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle in the back of the car or is this a bad idea? I know Illinois has terrible gun laws and I don’t want to get caught up in that jive turkey.
