Mount Carmel, IL Customer FAQ
Answers to the questions Illinois customers ask us most. Still have a question? Call us at (812) 553-1112.
Can I buy a handgun at your store if I live in Illinois?
No. Federal law only allows a licensed dealer to sell or transfer a handgun to a resident of the dealer’s own state. As an Indiana dealer, we can’t sell or transfer handguns to Illinois residents.
Can I buy a rifle or shotgun as an Illinois resident?
Often, yes. Federal law allows in-person sales of rifles and shotguns to out-of-state residents when the sale is legal in both states. You’ll need a valid Illinois FOID card, and Illinois restrictions still apply. Please call before you come so we can confirm.
Can I have a firearm I bought online shipped to you?
For Illinois residents, handguns can’t be transferred through us. For rifles and shotguns, call us first so we can confirm the transfer is allowed under both Indiana and Illinois law. Transfers are $25 per firearm.
