Whenever I mention legalizing concealed carry in Illinois to someone I get the "shocked there'll be shootouts in the streets" response. I usually counter that some form of concealed carry is already legal in 46 states and there are shall issue laws in 37 states. Now I can add that I, myself, can legally carry in 25 states and show my permit. Its shame that my own state government, to which I pay tax, does not trust me as much as the governments of 25 other states.

A good answer is: "Because my life and property are worth protecting". If a cop asks the questions (as one did when getting fingerprinted in Illinois for a Florida license), the answer becomes "Because my life and property are worth protecting, and I can't count on you to be around to protect me".

For instance, I can see where Florida issues permits to an Illinois resident, to allow this person to carry while in the state of Florida. But how do we know that other states recognizing as valid a Florida permit for a Florida resident will extend that recognizion to an Illinois state resident with the permit?
I have an Indiana out-of-state permit, as I live in Illinois, but it is not at all clear that Michigan would recognize my right to carry there, based on my Indiana permit. As I read the laws, I son't see anything to comfort me. What makes people think this works?

I know what your thinking, just because you had to go to another state to get a permit because your state does not recognize your 2nd amendments rights, the permit you recieved from the other state is a second class permit and may not be recognized by another state. A permit issued by a state that have reciprocal agreements with other states is just like having your drivers licence recognized by that state. But you should allways check out the laws of the state you are going to, and make sure you are following the law. To find out more on this subject go to MissouriCarry.com go to forums and do a search on Florida permits.

The draft is on the CCRA web page at:
http://www.gunssavel...ivities/SFA.htm
This draft has had much work done on it by several professionals including a former staffer of the ILLinois Referance Bureau. The staff of lawyers who actually write drafts of laws for the legislators. It is truely ready to go. It just needs a legislator to run with it and a bunch of people to push him (or her ) along.
Below is a Synopis of the bill. You will instantly see it would be administered by Dept of Prof. Regulation not the Politically Charged "STATE POLICE". Any Who remember the antics of former head Terry Gainer will appreciate this.---- TOM M
SYNOPSIS OF PROPOSED BILL
THE SAFE FAMILIES ACT
New Act Under 720 ILCS 5 / 24
Creates the Safe Families Act of 2000. Requires the Department of Professional Regulation to issue a permit to carry a firearm to a person at least 21 years of age who has been a resident of Illinois for at least four months past -- residency requirement exempted for victims of domestic violence -- who possess currently valid Illinois Firearm Owner's Identification Card, who applies for a handgun carrying permit, who pays $100 permit fee, and presents evidence of the successful completion of a minimum of a 10-hour firearms safety or training course certified by either the National Rifle Association or by the Department of the Professional Regulation, which shall include the standard police range qualification course of fire, within the preceding five years. Provides that a handgun carrying permit is valid for five years and authorizes a person to carry a handgun on or about one’s person or vehicle, throughout the State except in police stations, correctional facilities, stadiums, airports, taverns, courthouses, or other places where the carrying of firearms is prohibited by State or federal law or regulation. Prohibits a person convicted of a felony, or otherwise ineligible to possess a Firearms Owner’s Identification Card from obtaining a handgun carrying permit. Exemptions from training and fees: Honorably retired and former peace officers are exempted from the training and license fee provisions. Victims of domestic violence, individuals over 65 years of age, individuals whose income falls below federal poverty guidelines, are exempted from licensing fees. Handgun carrying licenses issued by other states that recognize Illinois’ licenses shall be considered valid in Illinois. Amends the Criminal Code of 1961. Exempts from unlawful use of weapons violations for carrying a firearm a person possessing a currently valid handgun carrying permit issued under the Safe Families Act of 2000.
Main requirements (as proposed):
ü Must be 21 years of age
ü Resident for four months
ü Possess a valid FOID card
ü $100 fee for a five-year card; $50 renewals
ü Successful completion of minimum of a 10-hour training course approved by NRA or Dept. of Professional Regulation, which shall include the standard police range qualification.
Former police officers possessing a valid F.O.I.D. card shall be exempt from the training and licensing provisions of this Act.
Victims of domestic violence, individuals over 65 years of age or individuals falling below federal poverty guidelines shall be exempt from the licensing fee.

From a purely selfish point of view, I would like to see a provision similar to Florida's, which allows veterans to substitute in-service training for the firearms safety/live fire qualification course, but lack of such a provision is not a show-stopper and overall, this appears to be a law I can get behind. (And, yeah, I might just be a little bit rusty and could use some refresher training
In still another thread, Don Gwinn has listed the parties he believes to be the major players in the RTC movement in Illinois...does anyone know if each has taken a position on this proposed legislation? Are all behind it, or are there competing versions and interests that may need to accommodated before we can present a truly united front?

But then, I'm a reasonable person and UNREASONABLE people [read; liberal democrats] will think this will cause the streets to run red with the blood of innocent victims just like it did when they passed similiar laws in 37 other states.

This is absolutely not true. The state of Indiana passed a preemption law, and even before the preemption law, the state supreme court ruled that Gary had to issue permits, and had to recognize other Indiana LTC's and that of any other state.

The reason to get a Florida permit is so you can carry in other states that have concealed carry.

For the photo find a place that does passport photos. After you get your photo your SSN needs to be on the back of the photo ( in case it gets seperated).
If you have any other questions just post them here.

Military honorable discharge document or copy of DD-214
A notarized statement or document from a club, organization or certified instructor showing that the individual has completed a course or class or is an experienced competitor.
NRA training certificate.
Firearms instructors card or certificate
There is a couple of others but this will give you an idea on what you have to do.

I just emailed an NRA Instructor that is doing a class in Hoffman Estates.
It is a combo Basic Pistol/Instructor's course, so maybe I can come out of this being able to teach the course myself....
Which would be nice.
