I would think that the transport of the log gun from IL to PA would be covered under federal law so IL can go pound sand. I would suggests that before you leave PA that you purchase an inexpensive hard shell rifle case that can be locked. I bought one just a few months ago at Dick's for $20 something dollars. I purchased it specifically fo transporting long guns to the range. I use two paddle locks to secure it during transport. Absolutely pack the rifle fully unload with no ammo what so ever in the hardshell case.

Remember that this rifle was gifted to you from your MOTHER. Repeat after me ... your MOTHER. As a previous poster correctly stated the inheritance regs apply to mother/father but NOT step parent or in-laws.
