Do you have any experience with firearms? If not I would look into a local training site/range and recommend starting with a 9mm pistol. Also it looks like you need to apply for a FOID.
Illinois law requires residents to have a Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) to possess a firearm or ammunition. FOID card holders (without a CCL) can legally carry unloaded firearms that are enclosed in a case. You must be 21 years old to apply and have a FOID card.

You can get a FOID if under 21 with parental approval documentation
