Ah, let's be specific about what you're talking about: Handgun modifications are more tightly controlled. For instance if I try to turn a hand gun into a long gun. That was always true of federal law.
What I'm pointing out is that a stock long rifle is arbitrarily made a felony only in New York and New Jersey law, which logically leads to a more dangerous outcome: I have to store said gun somewhere else while I live there for work.
- llamaimperative 2y agoNo, handguns are more tightly controlled than long guns.
- kasey_junk 2y agoIllinois law makes many stock rifles, some of them by name, a felony.
- JoeAltmaier 2y agoWorse, I think. Federal law says you can transport a firearm in a locked case in a vehicle, in every state. But Illinois interprets that to mean, you can pass through Illinois (say on the freeway) and they respect the law. But if you go off the route, say a couple miles off the freeway to visit a cousin as long as you are in Illinois, then a highway patrol stop can mean arrest and imprisonment.
- kasey_junk 2y agoIt’s not where you are traveling it’s how long. You have 24 hours to move your awb through Illinois. No one has been arrested just for traveling through Illinois yet.
