Supposedly class3/nfa is impossible in IL. So how do I go about getting around it? I've been told for class3 where legal ,you need to pass background check, pay a $200 "tax", and get the signature of local police chief to verify your clean background, and your sane. If I wasn't in IL I would have no problem getting what I want. Can I do the paper work and go to a ffl in another state, and get what I want? Or do I need to change my "legal" residence to say Wisconsin or Iowa.
