Sec. 65. Prohibited areas.

(10) Any public gathering or special event conducted
on property open to the public that requires the issuance of a permit from the unit of local government, provided this prohibition shall not apply to a licensee who must walk through a public gathering in order to access his or her residence, place of business, or vehicle.

Copied this right out of the Illinois Statutes.

This is why they would need to post. How would anyone know if the event required the issuance of a permit? Not every event requires a permit.

I hear you and agree DomG. It should be posted if it's a GFZ event but I didn't read anywhere that posting signs is required at such events. I was only providing information. Doesn't mean I like or agree with it. I have no idea if permits are required for car shows.

430 ILCS 66 Sec. 65. Prohibited areas.

(a) A licensee under this Act shall not knowingly carry a firearm on or into:

...

(10) Any public gathering or special event conducted on property open to the public that requires the issuance of a permit from the unit of local government, provided this prohibition shall not apply to a licensee who must walk through a public gathering in order to access his or her residence, place of business, or vehicle.

...

(d) Signs stating that the carrying of firearms is prohibited shall be clearly and conspicuously posted at the entrance of a building, premises, or real property specified in this Section as a prohibited area, unless the building or premises is a private residence. Signs shall be of a uniform design as established by the Department and shall be 4 inches by 6 inches in size. The Department shall adopt rules for standardized signs to be used under this subsection.

 

Even if there are no walls or ceiling, premises are premises. Only private residences are exempt from the signage requirement.

None of us do and that is why it is up to the event organizer to post IF necessary. No sign, no problem.

I'm guessing the people who organize these events, even when permits are necessary, are not aware of all the hundreds of laws that might apply. Most citizens have no idea what the CCA says or that there even is one. LOL.

Being unaware of the law doesn't necessarily absolve them of compliance. Maybe if more organizers of events were aware of the law, they'd be willing to help us fight this stupidity.
