I was checking the guns laws in IL for a trip I'm going to take (I know there are several out there who would just say 'whats the point' but I'm going, and I'm bringing my gun) when I found this:
http://www.ilga.gov/legislation/96/HB/09600HB2257.htm
the good part:
Introduced 2/18/2009
Effective January 1, 2010
Section 40. Reciprocity. Any valid permit to carry a
6 defensive firearm issued by a state or municipality shall be
7 honored by the State of Illinois when possessed by a
8 non-Illinois resident. Persons who have recently moved their
9 primary residence to Illinois and hold a valid permit issued by
10 a state or municipality may carry a defensive firearm under
11 that permit for no more than one year following establishment
12 of Illinois residence. Illinois residents holding a valid
13 out-of-state permit to carry upon the effective date of this
14 Act may carry a defensive firearm under that permit for no more
15 than one year after the effective date of this Act. Any person
16 carrying a defensive firearm in Illinois under authority of a
17 permit issued by any state or municipality shall do so in
18 accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois.
(thats the end of sec 40)
So does this mean we can CC in IL in 2010? It does state that you still need to be in compliance with local laws (line 18) which I believe would limit you to any non-auto gun under an 8 rnd count.
Whats the consensus? And if you're going to say "Just don't go to IL," or "Its not worth the risk," you're really not helping the cause...
I found that by searching around on:
