There is a new Illinois law in effect that basically makes it illegal to sell Tasers or stun guns in Illinois via the web.

The new law is below:

1. In order to possess a Taser or stun gun, an individual must
have a valid FOID card, as is currently required for firearms.

2. Sellers of Taser or stun guns must check the buyers FOID card
and keep the record of sale for ten years, the same requirements
for firearms sales.

3. When a licensed firearms dealer sells a Taser or stun gun,
they must request a background check of the buyer.

4. The 24-hour waiting period required for long guns, shotguns,
and rifles, will also apply to taser and stun gun purchases.
