UPDATE
The vehicle in Chicago fell through. We will now be heading for Ohio the following weekend. We will fly into Hopkins and drive to Chicago to stay with friends and drive the last 9 hours the next day. Does this change anything? Is it any better to fly into Ohio?
I know that we would still have to drive through Chicago. A handgun can be possessed in Chicago, it just has to be unloaded and stored separate from the gun, right?
I'm flying to Chicago with my wife this weekend to pick up a vehicle and see some friends. I would rather not check anything and I know checking a handgun takes more time and can be a hassle.
I also know that carrying in IL is not an option. But we will be driving for a while with many stops, food, gas, bathroom (3 month pregnant wife). I'm thinking I'll just have to forgo carrying on this trip.
It just kinda bugs me. I can't even bring a knife unless I check a bag. We will be flying into O'Hare and dealing with luggage would be a hassle.
Am I missing something? Would it be easier than I think? We will be staying with friends who are cool with guns. He's a airline Pilot who carries in the cockpit. He deals with different security when he flies so it's not really an issue for him.
Anyone have any insight?
Anyone in Chicago want to lend me a handgun for the trip back? lol
