Frequently Asked Questions

What are the legal implications for possessing antique firearms in Illinois?

In Illinois, a cap and ball revolver, even a modern reproduction, is technically not considered a firearm under federal law and therefore not subject to FOID card requirements for possession, though enforcement may vary.

What is the proposed federal magazine ban by Senator Jackie Rosen?

Senator Jackie Rosen has proposed banning all feeding devices that hold more than 10 rounds, with exceptions for fixed .22 tube magazines, and would require manufacturers to print serial numbers on standard capacity magazines.

Can serial numbers on firearms truly be erased?

While claims of erasable serial numbers exist, forensic technicians can often recover stamped numbers by polishing the surface and applying acid, as the stamping process slightly hardens the metal, leaving a detectable trace.

Has the ATF admitted to monitoring social media?

Yes, in response to a FOIA request from Gun Owners of America (GOA), the ATF admitted to monitoring social media platforms, including Arfcom, and considers such communities a threat.
