I'm thinking about getting the Henry H001 lever-action .22 caliber rifle for basic protection, & I'm curious, for those more knowledgeable than me, if this is legal in Illinois, Cook County, and Chicago? I read the NRA briefing for IL, and it appears to be legal, and for Chicago, I believe it is, because it is a long gun. Cook County - I'm unsure of this part:
Large capacity magazines are illegal in Cook County. The Henry H001 is lever-action, holding 15,17, and 21 rounds in a tubular magazine - does the Cook County law mean that the H001 is exempt? TIA!!

"Large capacity magazine” means any ammunition feeding device with the capacity to accept more than 10 rounds, but shall not be construed to include the following:
(1) A feeding device that has been permanently altered so that it cannot accommodate more than 10 rounds.
(2) A 22 caliber tube ammunition feeding device.
(3) A tubular magazine that is contained in a lever-action firearm."
