What is the waiting period for taking possession of a firearm after purchase in Illinois?

  1. 24 hours

  2. 72 hours

  3. 48 hours

  4. No waiting period

The correct answer is: 72 hours

In Illinois, there is a mandatory waiting period of 72 hours after purchasing a firearm before a person can take possession of it. This waiting period is meant to allow for a thorough background check and to prevent impulse purchases. Option A and C are incorrect because they both refer to shorter waiting periods than the one required in Illinois. While option D may seem like a possible answer, the state of Illinois does have a waiting period requirement for firearm purchases, making D an incorrect choice.
