If you are in an area of strict rules surrounded by less restrictive zones and there is no monitored border then your rules will be pointless. Firearms recovered in Illinois that are used in crimes were purchased in places like Missouri, Iowa, Kentucky, etc. In fact, we know that when Missouri loosened their gun laws the rate of firearms recovered from crimes coming from Missouri increased in the succeeding years. We have seen this phenomenon in Virginia where our loose laws are used by people in DC, Maryland, and even New York to purchase firearms that are then used in crimes in those places.

On a related note I grew up in a town in PA less than 10 miles from the Ohio border and when the drinking age was 18 in Ohio and 21 in PA it led to a lot of people age 16-20 driving 10+ miles in order to drink and then 10+ miles back drunk since they weren't legally allowed to drink at any of the many bars within walking distance.
