As far as HB4216, I can see it being a plus for Veterans that want concealed carry but most for retired LEO's, there is little benefit to obtaining an Illinois CCL. Just about all retired LEO's in Illinois will participate in the IROCC program to obtain CCL privileges as they are now covered under HR218, otherwise known as LEOSA. It gives 50 state carry privileges. The only downside when compared to the Illinois CCL is that you must qualify every year and pay a fee of $75 if you want to qualify with a semi auto or revolver, or $100 if you want to get qualified to carry both. In the end, it ends up around the same cost but much more beneficial.

The carve outs are a good start. Baby steps. But I don't see any of these going anywhere given the current make up of the legislature.

 

Only if the carve out is for you, in this state the only way that carve out gets expanded to all is in the courts, it's never really a baby step to progress in this state it remains just a small carve out until a court intervenes and removes all special treatment and different applicable classes to exercising rights. In fact I would argue carve outs hurt the fight as many 'Fudds' get their candy and walk away from the fight, we see this all too often.

No special privileges for anyone including retired LEOs, period. Sent from my SM-T510 using Tapatalk

 

Exactly, imagine how far nationwide reciprocal and even carry itself would be if police didn't and never got special privileges taking them out of the fight (or worse they turn against everyone else's rights) because they got theirs.
