I have always heard that residents could buy shotgun ammo when under 18 but had to be over to buy rifle or handgun ammo. i was looking up the law and the law states that any illinois resident with a foid card can buy any ammo , it further states that non residents must be over 18 to buy ammo

As long as you can provide a FOID Card you should be able to buy whatever. I used to buy shotgun and rifle loads when I was 16. But than again, that doesn't necisarily mean that it is legal. Some people just don't care who they sell it to.

If you are 18, but under 21, you can get an FOID card if your parent or legal guardian "co-signs" for you & you can only purchase long gun and long gun ammo til 21, no matter what. You cannot possess a handgun either unti 21, unless accompanied by a parent or legal guardian who is or over.
