Illinois Firearm (Gun) Bill of Sale Form

An Illinois firearm bill of sale establishes a private transfer of a purchase and sale of a firearm. The form displays who the buyer was, who the seller was, the firearm that changed possession, and when the transfer took place. That way, if questions come up later, both sides have the same basic record to look back on instead of trying to piece the sale together afterward.
