- kasey_junk 2y agoIn practice it is not easier for an Illinois resident to buy a handgun in Indiana than in Illinois. Even an illegal one. The way straw purchases work for handguns is mostly that a family member who can legally purchase the firearm does. But if you are talking cross state border sales, which are not the majority even though it’s an oft quoted trope, a resident of Indiana buys a lot of guns, then sells them illegally in Illinois. Precisely because you can’t easily buy a handgun in a state you don’t reside in.
