Okay, I grew up there, and I've read the state police website, which is little to no help whatsoever. I may be traveling to NY and Illiois on vacation in the next couple of weeks. I know that I'm protected under federal commerce to "drive through" a state with my firearms locked in the trunk of the car. In Illinois (when you stop to stay there, not just passing through) you are required to have a FOID card to posses a firearm. Does staying at a hotel for a couple days qualify as "passing through" under the federal statute? Probably not? So, if I want to visit family for a few days, is there a way that I can bring my .45 to show to my old man, or I just have to wait till he comes to visit me?
