Xwing Posted May 8, 2019 at 01:30 PM Posted May 8, 2019 at 01:30 PM I can't look through 63 pages of this thread, but I went to the Naperville Dick's today and it's NOT posted ! Has it never been or is this something new ? I purposely carried and was surprised. Dicks usually isn't posted. While they have taken an anti-gun stance (in regard to tactical rifles), I've never seen one that actually prohibits carry. And instead of looking through 63 pages, check out the app in Android or iPhone / iPad, or use the online / lite version. There are thousands of active entries, this thread is just one minor source.
jawman Posted May 16, 2019 at 01:58 AM Posted May 16, 2019 at 01:58 AM What are the penalties if someone is carrying in a place that is posted? I'm sure the penalty varies depending on the place: e.g. School, federal building, park, or a posted restaurant can't all be the same penalty.
Euler Posted May 16, 2019 at 03:12 AM Posted May 16, 2019 at 03:12 AM What are the penalties if someone is carrying in a place that is posted? I'm sure the penalty varies depending on the place: e.g. School, federal building, park, or a posted restaurant can't all be the same penalty. Except as otherwise provided, a licensee in violation of this Act shall be guilty of a Class B misdemeanor. A second or subsequent violation is a Class A misdemeanor. The Department may suspend a license for up to 6 months for a second violation and shall permanently revoke a license for 3 or more violations of Section 65 of this Act. Any person convicted of a violation under this Section shall pay a $150 fee to be deposited into the Mental Health Reporting Fund, plus any applicable court costs or fees. Federally prohibited places gets you a felony first time.
Euler Posted May 16, 2019 at 07:19 AM Posted May 16, 2019 at 07:19 AM Federally prohibited places gets you a felony first time. Update: The Federal law is 18 U.S. Code § 930. Possession of firearms and dangerous weapons in Federal facilities Otherwise legal carry in a Federal facility that is not a courthouse is a misdemeanor. Otherwise legal carry in a Federal courthouse is a felony. Otherwise illegal carry in a Federal facility is a felony.
raymond963 Posted August 2, 2019 at 07:33 PM Posted August 2, 2019 at 07:33 PM Stopped in the Jimmy John's at 2301 E Washington St in Bloomington yesterday. There are no longer any GFZ signs posted. Hoping that's true at all Bloomington/Normal stores. Edited to add that I entered the above info into the Posted! app.
VannDaddy Posted February 16, 2020 at 10:59 PM Posted February 16, 2020 at 10:59 PM I’m going to a wedding this summer at the Standard at 214 E State in Rockford. I haven’t been able to find any info that it’s posted. Anyone have any info? Thanks

joker Posted April 13, 2020 at 01:52 PM Posted April 13, 2020 at 01:52 PM My instructor in January 2020 interprets cook county forest preserve as OK to carry on the trails (Des Plaines river Trail) went as far as to say real property means buildings, OK anywhere elseCook County forest preserve was not on the list of prohibited places instructor handed outAfter a lot of reading I will draw my own conclusion that its not OK anywhere in CCFP even parking lots ?I was in one CCFP that had no gun sign on post at entrance to parking lotAny advise would be appreciated What about Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery?
Nod Posted April 13, 2020 at 02:18 PM Posted April 13, 2020 at 02:18 PM I noticed the last time I got an emission test (last month) the no gun sign was gone.
Bubbacs Posted April 13, 2020 at 03:49 PM Posted April 13, 2020 at 03:49 PM What about Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery? Absolutely notPosted in several placesFederally controlled, federal property? But no, I have and many other who visit there do not take in the car either. Just respect

Your instructor was in error. Real property includes land, buildings, and anything firmly attached to the land. https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/real+property Under section 65: "(14) Any real property under the control of the Cook County Forest Preserve District". There has been many posts on this forum indicating that instructors have made mistakes or students have incorrectly interpreted what was taught. I do not mean this as a blanket negative criticism of instructors. They are teaching in good faith. People make mistakes. Few, if any, CC instructors are lawyers. Even lawyers make mistakes.
Bitter Clinger Posted April 13, 2020 at 04:39 PM Posted April 13, 2020 at 04:39 PM They may be teaching in good faith, but with some instructors, their lack of knowledge or misinformation could get the students into trouble. When I took my renewal class, the instructor was not knowledgeable at all with even the most basic topics and there are things he should have known and didn't. To name a few for example, the Cook county FP question came up and he didn't know the answer. He also didn't know about the posting requirements for restaurants which have 50% alcohol sales revenue, or the ban on carry in the post office or other federal buildings. It just went on and on. I had to keep correcting him and answer the questions the students were asking because he didn't know the answer. I was also surprised at how little the students knew. Granted, I'm probably more knowledgeable on the topic than most people because I participate here at IL Carry and keep myself informed.
Quiet Observer Posted April 13, 2020 at 05:17 PM Posted April 13, 2020 at 05:17 PM The law is posted on the ISP web site for anyone to review. Regardless of any error an instructor may have made, we are individually responsible for knowing its contents and for our actions. I read it 2 - 3 times before I took my first class.

lockman Posted April 14, 2020 at 01:40 AM Posted April 14, 2020 at 01:40 AM I don’t know much about Cook County forest preserve trails, but if the trail begins and ends outside of the preserve, like a trail through the preserve that would be ok. A river trail may continue past the borders of the preserve. ^ this ***
joker Posted April 14, 2020 at 12:30 PM Posted April 14, 2020 at 12:30 PM Seems to be a gray areaA lady we know was attacked and raped on that trail years ago, cook county had inmates cleaning a roadway ,one inmate ran away and hid in the woods, and pulled her off the trailMy wife since does not go on the trail by herself, you can access the trail and the trail crosses many roads which can be entrance, exit pointsI guess a call to an experienced gun law attorney is in the future The code does state CCFP is exempt from concealed carry law
vito Posted April 14, 2020 at 12:32 PM Posted April 14, 2020 at 12:32 PM There's Illinois law, and there's natural law.

Heavy Jet Posted May 22, 2020 at 10:15 PM Posted May 22, 2020 at 10:15 PM Helpfull App. It will be good to have.
Odinson Posted July 21, 2020 at 12:58 PM Posted July 21, 2020 at 12:58 PM If a restaurant is properly posted, does that signage also apply to its outdoor dining? How about some of the outdoor dining setups in closed streets or sidewalks that were put up in response to this COVID? I get that if you go in through a posted door you are in violation, but sitting outside you may never cross a door.
vito Posted July 21, 2020 at 01:54 PM Posted July 21, 2020 at 01:54 PM It seems it would depend on where the posted sign is. If you have to pass the sign then the area is a no carry area, if the sign is still on the door to the restaurant, and you never enter through that door I would think that you are okay. Personally this is how I would interpret such a situation and just continue to carry concealed as usual.
Quiet Observer Posted July 21, 2020 at 02:03 PM Posted July 21, 2020 at 02:03 PM The sidewalk and street are public right of ways, CC is not restricted. The law says that you cannot go through a portal (door, gate) that is posted. If they have tables in their parking lot and it is posted, then you cannot be armed. No posting? carry there too. I do not see completely ignoring the law and signage, but we have had over 5 years of CC. The arrests for CCing in posted areas have been extremely rare. If you are extremely careless in your concealment, you may be asked to leave.
Odinson Posted July 21, 2020 at 02:31 PM Posted July 21, 2020 at 02:31 PM Thanks guys, this is what I figured. Just wondered if people knew about any little details in the code or case law that I missed.
peteydoug Posted July 22, 2020 at 09:02 AM Posted July 22, 2020 at 09:02 AM Living in Chicago, it's practically easier to post places that DON'T have GFZ signs instead of ones that do. My wife is starting to get p***** because I refuse spend money at 95% of the establishments in our neighborhood.
Euler Posted July 22, 2020 at 09:55 AM Posted July 22, 2020 at 09:55 AM She should be angry at the 95% that don't want you as a customer.
InterestedBystander Posted July 22, 2020 at 11:13 AM Posted July 22, 2020 at 11:13 AM She should be angry at the 95% that don't want you as a customer.Didn't Chicago pass a law (or try to) requiring a large number of places to post in order to retain their business license?
mauserme Posted July 22, 2020 at 11:14 AM Author Posted July 22, 2020 at 11:14 AM Didn't Chicago pass a law (or try to) requiring a large number of places to post in order to retain their business license? They require that for a liquor license.
Hatchet Posted July 22, 2020 at 11:15 AM Posted July 22, 2020 at 11:15 AM She should be angry at the 95% that don't want you as a customer.Didn't Chicago pass a law (or try to) requiring a large number of places to post in order to retain their business license? Don't think they passes a law. It was the liquor board telling anything that needed a license that they had to post or no liquor license. As far as I can rememberr.
