When inheriting firearms in Illinois, it is possible to possess them without holding a Firearm Owners Identification (FOID) card for a period of up to 60 days from the date of acquisition. During this 60-day period, the heir must initiate the process of either obtaining a FOID card or disposing of the inherited firearms legally. It is important to note that this exemption is time-bound and applies exclusively to firearms received through inheritance. After the 60-day window expires, the heir must possess a valid FOID card to continue to legally possess the inherited firearms.
