The State of Illinois recently complied with US Courts which overturned any law that was a ban on conceal carry of weapons. Illinois not only didn’t allow conceal carry, they outlawed all carry of a loaded handgun.<\/p>\n

The City of Chicago had close to an outright ban – you could not carry a gun outside your home even if you went through the cumbersome and expensive Fire Owner ID (FOID), registration of individual guns with the City, and the longest required course in gun safety training. Taking the course was difficult as there is no place within the city licensed as a firing range, no legal firearms dealers and the course requires live fire training. That would mean to comply with the law, you had to rent a gun in the suburbs or transport your legal gun with the very stringent rules to put the gun in the trunk of your car with the gun and the ammunition in separate cases. A large portion of people in the city don’t own a car.<\/p>\n

People licensed legally to carry in Illinois would then be in violation of Chicago’s laws if they crossed into the city limits. A person with a state conceal carry permit who moved to Chicago could carry concealed only if they stayed inside their own house. It’s a legal mess.<\/p>\n

The City Coucil has repealed at least some of their folly in trying to reduce violence by keeping guns out of the hands of responsible people. Things are looking up. To try to still sound tough, restaurants that serve alcohol must ban guns on their premises, exceeding the state law whuch only applies to bars.<\/p>\n
