Investigation Brief
fflil.org is the website of Federal Firearm Licensees of Illinois, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit founded in 2017 that advocates for Illinois gun dealers and owners. The domain has been registered since 2018, lists a physical address in Yorkville, IL, a domain-specific email, and a phone number. A prominent donation button solicits contributions to fund legal and advocacy work. No security threats were detected and no consumer-risk mechanisms were identified.
Long-standing domain and verifiable contact information
The registrable domain is 3206 days old, placing its registration in 2018 and aligning with the organization's stated founding year.
The site publishes its own-domain contact email (info@fflil.org), a listed phone number (630-635-6097), and a postal address in Yorkville, IL.
Donation request for advocacy funding
A prominent "Donate Now" call-to-action states that contributions fund legal teams defending Second Amendment rights across Illinois, with 100% of proceeds allocated to that purpose.
The donation request is presented as a standard nonprofit fundraising mechanism rather than a commercial product sale or subscription service.
Clean security posture
The browser threat feed returned no threat warning and the TLS check confirmed a valid encrypted connection.
Why the score is 92
The saved checks and analysis found no material threat. Coverage remains separate so missing sources cannot be mistaken for clean results.

Domain & infrastructure
The plumbing behind the site — who registered it, how it’s encrypted, where it’s hosted, and where it links out. A valid certificate or a calm server doesn’t mean the business is honest — scam sites pass these checks too. Use this to corroborate the verdict, not to overturn it.
