Illinois Finally Passes CCDW Law

[demark04]

Illinois became the last state to enact CC laws.........http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-201_162-57592940/illinois-enacts-nations-final-concealed-gun-law

Law According to the Sheriffs Department............http://www.ilsheriff.org/images/stories/press/housebill183.pdf

Unless I misread it, Looks like it will be a "Shall Issue" State.  Non Residents can apply for $300 Holy Cow.  No Thanks.

Would you expect anything less the state that sent us Obama, Emanuel, and could go on and on.

[Kimber HD]

Like that's really any better than DE ?  At least non-residents CAN apply.

Besides - tally up how much it costs to apply here as a resident - its no different.

[JOET]

Wonder if they will Recp with any other state??

Vehicle carry is legal with a permit from your home state without the $300 charge.

Thanks.
After I see those exact words on the Illinois state Web site, and print a copy to take with me, I might actually leave my Glock on my hip in October when I drive through Illinois.
No chance of me getting out of the car, though: I still deny Illinois any of my money, and I wouldn't set foot on the ground there until they grant us reciprocity. F*** them.

Reciprical agreements are usually worked out between the Attorney General's of each state. Lets see here we have Beau Beau Biden, and in IL. a liberal Chicago Democrat who aims to be Gov. of that state. I'd guess that there are 2 chances that will happen. Slim and none.

Not sure about the guy in Illinois, but Biden's office has expanded reciprocity under his tenure. Illinois will apparently have just the kind of strict rules that pass muster for reciprocity with DE, and ours aren't much less strict than theirs... so there might be hope, if Illinois does any sort of reciprocity at all.

[JOET]

Oldgrey you are right...Biden did expand reciprocity..so yes, there is hope..

I don't see anything that says a "home state"  permit is required for this...

"Permits will be available in January. State Police officials expect as much as 300,000 applicants in the first year."

Now that's pent up demand!

But the bad news: the no carry locations list is extensive; schools, stadiums, state parks, legislative buildings including the parking lots, hospitals and on and on. Unfortunately I didn't copy the list before the News Tribune limited my access.

[Adrenolin]

Add to that list: day cares, airports, amusement parts, zoos, public transport (buses, trams, cabs, etc) and restaurants that bring in 50% or more of their sales via alcohol.

Doubt if there will be any reciprocity between Delaware and Them by next spring. I hope to be able to visit my son, grandsons, and new geat grandson, that I've never seen, in Wisconsin. I will have to fall on the Federal Transport Law to go through Illinois, I guess. But, then again I will to go through Maryland too.

With your DE CCDW, you can now drive through Illinois without disarming... you just need to leave your gun in the car if you get out.
(On my recent trip, I didn't get out of the car in Illinois).

As for Maryland, I never go West that way. I go up through Lancaster. It's shorter (from NCCo, anyway), and doesn't really add any time to the drive.
