domin8 Posted May 8, 2015 at 05:00 AM Share Posted May 8, 2015 at 05:00 AM (edited) Don't get too confident. South Carolina might be going Constitutional Carry. That'll allow Illinois residents to carry. Also keep an eye on Texas. I'm hoping the final tally will be 50.

oohrah Posted August 3, 2015 at 02:05 PM Share Posted August 3, 2015 at 02:05 PM Texas. While no reciprocity yet (and probably not very soon), anyone who can legally possess a firearm, and is not in the act of committing a crime, can legally carry concealed in their vehicle. It must remain concealed, but there is no duty to inform. The only problem could be gun free school zones and post office property. You can also legally carry concealed from your residence directly to your vehicle and back again. It is called the Motorist Protection Act.

Maine is not yet Constitutional Carry, and they do not recognize the Illinois license. They will be Constitutional Carry in ~2 months. But until then, cannot carry there w/o a ME license (or AK, DE, LA, MI, ND, PA, SD or WY resident license) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How does Minnesota recognizing IL licenses help ANY Minnesota resident? Especially those with a Minnesota CCL? Don't get me wrong, I'm happy for US. I just think IL politicians suck- and not just about this. Edited August 12, 2015 at 01:29 AM by DomG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Constitution requires states to respect them. Denying rights to individuals because of the actions of some government body is vindictive and asinine. CCW isn't truly a right (regardless of the 2A) as long as the SCOTUS recognizes unconstitutional state laws that require licensing. You don't need a license for a right. Until CCW is recognized as a right under the 2A, ALL licenses from every state should be recognized by ALL states. I'm not trying to deny anyone's rights. My point is that everyone's rights should be recognized. And if I were a legislator in another state, I'd be fighting for my constituents rights, first and foremost and against states that deny the rights of my citizens.

Huh? I said I'd want my constituents to have the SAME rights when they visit Illinois that Illinois citizens have when they visit my state. No more, no less. It's an unknown concept to Illinoisans, but some legislators in other states actually treat their constituents as citizens and not subjects and they fight for their people.
