Purchase through Firstline program affected by new Illinois gun law (commentary).

[SFB]

No response needed. I just wanted to vent being a resident of Illinois, and a veteran and law abiding citizen. I purchased an M1A last year through Springfield's Firstline program. Today, 6 months later I received a call from the firearm dealer that the rifle was ready but that they could not transfer it to me because of the new law. Needless to say I was forced to request a refund. My next concern is for the retail shops in the state and their ability to stay in business.

Pray for a better tomorrow!

Thanks for reading...

My understanding was that any firearm with a 4473 started was to be honored, or was one never started since it was "ordered"

I would say that it wasn't started because 4473 is filled out on day of purchase--take gun home not when ordered thru dealer

Agree!
