Some airguns CLASSIFIED as firearms — FOID may be required
Evidence IL excludes from firearm definition non-powder guns of .18 caliber or less and non-powder guns with muzzle velocity less than 700 fps. Higher-power/larger-caliber airguns ARE firearms — FOID required. IL DNR ranges apply firearm rules to qualifying airguns.
State-level restrictions FOID required for higher-power airguns. Marketplace caution: tier 1 jurisdiction.
This describes Illinois state-level airgun law. Rules at this specific range may be stricter — always confirm with the range directly before traveling.
Always call ahead.
Range policies change — sometimes mid-season. Indoor lanes update caliber rules, clubs revise membership requirements, and public ranges suspend airgun access without warning. Confirm current policy by phone or website before you make the trip.
