I have a question that came to mind, more of a curiousity, and advice seeking. I'm keep this within our states section, for a reason >.> Other state forums scare me D:
I have a friend, age 19, resident of Illinois, more specifically, Chicago. She has been more interested in Firearms, and their laws, and owning one, since her last Visit here, where we met. I have a vague understanding that it's legal to sell a firearm to someone privately, without a background check, and calling the KSP and all that stuff. But what I wanted to know is, could I legally sell, or give her one of my pistols? I know for a fact her record is as clean as a whistle, she let me run a background check on her via an online background website. I know if you go to a firearms shop, or to Wal-marts, you have to be 21 to purchase a pistol, and I was wondering if that applies to private sales or Private gifting. Does she have to be 21 before I could give her a pistol as a Christmas present, or sell it to her cheaply? I don't know if she would be able to return home with it, but she did say if it was okay with me, She'd let me keep it at home for whenever she visited Kentucky. As she wants to get into Open Carrying.
Another one relating to her; I know people from other states can OC here within reason. But what of a Chicago resident? I don't want her to face legal punishment when she went home, because someone up north caught word of her OC'ing a sidearm here, or having a sidearm gifted to her but kept within my home.
Another curious question.
I have a friend who lives in Mass; Back in March he visited, and moved here, staying for about three months. While here, he changed his license over, and because he was living with me, and was using my address for his mail, he got his license in one day, and registered to vote. He had to go back to Mass for family, but won't be able to come back to live here until Spring of next year. He's wanting me to purchase, and hold secure a couple of sidearms for him. And I was wondering if that's legal, since he still has his Kentucky License, and his Residence is still at my address, where I forward his mail to him.
I want to make sure I'm not violating some unknown state, or federal law before I do anything, IF I do anything at all. I don't like being confronted by LEO's pertaining to anything as is, and really don't want a KSP, or ATF agent knocking at my door.
Any in-sight would be helpful guys, I really appreciate it. I'll just go back to my lurking now >.>
