In Chicago, as in all of Illinois, residents must get a Firearm Owners Identification ( FOID ) card in order to legally own a gun. The Illinois State Police conducts an in-depth history check before issuing the card.
Various regulations in consequence in Chicago include the provincial “assault weapons” and “high power” magazine ban, a 72- hour waiting period on gun purchases, a crimson flag law, and more. Also, Cook County, where Chicago is located, has its own “assault arms” ban.
Despite all the Liberals ‘ gun power, over 180 people have been killed in Chicago since January 1, 2024.
