Short answer: no for handguns, depends on IL law for long guns. Even if you purchase from a private party you cannot take a handgun home, it must be sent to a FFL in your residence state where you will complete the transfer. Just be sure to verify that the FFL will accept a firearm from a non-licensed person...some will not. Long guns can, in many cases, be purchased from a licensed dealer in a neighboring or border state but a 4473 and a NICS is still required, you cannot purchase interstate in a true face-to-face, i.e. no dealer intermediary, transaction.
