Hamish Posted May 14, 2019 at 12:47 PM Share Posted May 14, 2019 at 12:47 PM (edited) Well, it's been five years and a couple of months now, and we seemingly have made very little to no headway on getting any of the GFZ's in the original law written out. I've been through three background checks, I have a photo ID permit ISSUED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS to protect myself and those around me WITH DEADLY FORCE in case of threat of bodily harm, BUT YET I CANT ATTEND A FUNCTION CARRYING IN A SCHOOL TO PROTECT MY GRANDCHILDREN.

Euler Posted May 14, 2019 at 06:13 PM Share Posted May 14, 2019 at 06:13 PM (edited) Well, it's been five years and a couple of months now, and we seemingly have made very little to no headway on getting any of the GFZ's in the original law written out. ...Schools are unlikely to ever be removed from the prohibited list. Here's a table comparing all states: Weapons in Schools Take it with a grain of salt, though. It says a FOID is a CCL in IL. (Basically it says IL CCLs are allowed to FOID-carry in schools.) The federal Gun-Free Kill School Zone Act does not prohibit otherwise-legal concealed carry in schools. It's state laws that prohibit that. FWIW, it looks like the only state to permit all concealed carriers in schools is Alabama. All other states that allow concealed carry in schools also require the individual to obtain explicit permission from the school board or school administrators.

vito Posted November 1, 2022 at 03:43 PM Share Posted November 1, 2022 at 03:43 PM Coyotes are often seen on the extensive grounds of a local community college. I have been told that some of those who walk their dogs on these grounds carry concealed as a protection against possible coyote attack. This is one area that I would hope someday can be removed from the "do not carry" list here in IL, along with public transportation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CFREUND01 Posted November 30, 2023 at 02:31 AM Share Posted November 30, 2023 at 02:31 AM As far as prohibited areas where we can’t carry and have to leave firearm in vehicle. If wearing let’s say a shoulder rig with 2 mags counterbalancing holster, would I need to also remove the 2 loaded mags and leave in car? I’ve tried to find something to do with extra loaded mags but have been unsuccessful. Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question really is about where unloaded ammo is prohibited. If it's not 50 BMG, then it's not prohibited anywhere by state law. There are some places you wouldn't be allowed to take it, even though it's not technically illegal. For example, if you tried to take ammo into a state court house, it's unlikely you'd be successful. Structurally, the intent of the Concealed Carry Act is to provide an exception to the UUW statute. However, the UUW statute doesn't prohibit ammunition alone based solely on location.

dukemason Posted January 12, 2024 at 06:01 PM Share Posted January 12, 2024 at 06:01 PM The way I read the restrictions, the parking lot of a local police department should be OK for concealed carry. Is that correct? For face-to-face Ebay and Internet sales, police department parking lots should be a little safer than random parking lots.

Since “Concealed” Carry became lawful in Illinois how many card carrying holders have actually been charged with - prosecuted - and lost their “gun rights” for carrying “Concealed” in a prohibited place? I don’t recall seeing any news stories of such actually happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joker Posted February 17, 2024 at 02:43 PM Share Posted February 17, 2024 at 02:43 PM I did read the code and the cc forest preserve part has changed, used to say real property or something like that , now the code lists all the areas you can't carry in, trails is not listed, so that's why I'm checking.
