You would have to check into your state's laws to know. In Illinois, we must get a FOID card to buy or possess any firearm. There are questions related to mental illness and other things. It has been a long time since I bought one, so I can't remember what they are (and the laws have changed). Also, no one in IL can carry. We are the only state now, according to the press, that doesn't have concealed carry. The FOID merely makes it legal to buy/ own a firearm and ammunition. You may also have local laws that are more restrictive. Until very recently, Chicago more or less, prohibited ownership of firearms, altogether.
