Probably would have been better to take the handgun as a gift rather than buying it.

Re: Private sale of a handgun by an Illinois resident to a Texas resident
Did you ever think that with your physical presence in Illinois maybe you were required to have an FOID to buy the gun? Just a guess on my part. You followed Federal law but the issue is whether this comes back to bite your father at any time. I don't think Gander Mountain FFL technically bought the gun, they only arranged the transfer. So glad I don't live in Illinois.

Re: Private sale of a handgun by an Illinois resident to a Texas resident
From the NRA website
A buyer is required to show his Firearms Owner’s Identification Card (FOID) when purchasing any firearms or ammunition. Any seller is required to withhold delivery of any handgun for 72 hours, and of any rifle or shotgun for 24 hours, after the buyer and seller reach an agreement to purchase a firearm. The waiting period does not apply to a buyer who is a dealer, law enforcement officer, or a nonresident at a gun show recognized by the Illinois Department of State Police. The seller must retain for 10 years a record of the transfer, including a description of the firearm (including serial number), the identity of the buyer, and the buyer’s FOID number.
If you want to protect your dad you should probably provide the info. Stupid laws but potentially a problem for your dad.
