Illinois residents have to show a FOID card to purchase ammo in Indiana.


Not true...at least not per state law. There's nothing on our books that says anything about IDing someone for ammo purchases, period. In the part of the state where I live (about 2 hours from Chicago) I've never seen anyone ask for any form of ID for an ammo purchase except for big box retailers who require it as store policy. And I doubt any of them around here would even know what an FOID card is.

I do know I've seen them ask for an FOID card from IL residents buying ammo at the Cabela's in Lake County (2 miles east of IL off of I-80). It kinda pissed me off when I saw it happen because we don't need that FOID bullshit in our state, but I imagine it's some kind of store policy with them being so close to IL.
