  1. I don't know the answer, but why not write to the TX Attorney General and ask? Maybe you'll prompt a decision to recognize IL. I did that a while back, feel free to pile on though.
  2. Ohio will start recognizing Illinois on March 23. I haven't heard of any other states revising their recognition statutes, but it is possible--especially for those attempting to institute "no license required" concealed carry. Illinois should meet requirements for both Texas and Minnesota. I'm not sure what the problem is or if they just overlooked Illinois in both of those states, Texas for sure. Virginia also recognizes a few states unilaterally so in theory could add IL also. New Mexico could in theory, but as of a few years ago the person in charge of recognition in their state police really constricted their recognition, and they now really only recognize those states they have formal agreements with. Other than those it will take legislative changes, either in the other states, or in IL. The other states that are left are states that either require formal agreements, or at least reciprocity. A few states might find something very nitpicky in IL requirements to deny reciprocity or recognition.
  3. All of the above. Secretary of State's office has always been, and I suspect will always be, hostile to FOID. Maybe because they were shut out of the process for them I dunno. And he apparently ran into someone at the office who was personally ignorant and not smart enough to just say "I don't know". No FOID applications until the new online system becomes available which is supposed to be Monday. He should be able to purchase a long gun as a non-resident.
  4. Really no reason to pay someone to mail in a form for you. The form is available as a pdf online, you can just type in everything and print it out, voila, no handwriting issues. Who doesn't have access to a digital camera these days to be able to take a photo? Or maybe you got screwed by the people you paid to put a piece of paper in an envelope. I did three for family members just a couple months ago, all came back in less than 30 days.
  5. No, I realize a lot of people don't track the laws as closely as we do and are unaware of the restrictions. PA doesn't have a training requirement, and I can understand why Shaneen applied "common sense wisdom" and believed she could carry in PRNJ. Missouri, on the other hand, does require training. I don't know if discussion of reciprocity is a requirement of the course, but personally I believe instructors should make it a habit to emphasize the need to research reciprocity and carry laws in another state before traveling there. I took an MO class (just because), and overheard some conversations at the range qual (typical gunshop BS) about all the "facts" that people "had heard" or were told by their friend the cop etc that were being passed around like a hot insider stock tip. That the information directly contradicted what had just been presented in the class the day before somehow became that the class was out of date. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in groups. Mandated training isn't a panacea either.
  6. What in the world would give them that idea? You think Shaneen Allen is the only one that doesn't know that carry isn't interstate? Lots of people like her. FOID is irrelevant for any non-IL resident. As mentioned, non residents can carry in their vehicles.
  7. I contacted someone in the firearms section at BCA by email via a referral from their public information office. I did get a reply that they were reviewing their information but then never heard any more, and no reply to follow up email. I did inquire as to whether they did actual reciprocity agreements, as it appears they don't despite occasional mention of agreements. If they did actually do agreements they'd have Ohio and New Mexico, which right now is one-way only. If they had OH and NM reciprocity I'd just get an MN permit to cover those three states that I need.
  8. MN does recognition based on analysis of permit requirements, so one would think they would add Illinois. They don't do agreements or require reciprocity. I've inquired with them as to whether they had yet analyzed IL licenses and not received an answer yet. I wish they did do agreements, if they did, they'd have OH and NM and I'd pick up a non-res from them to cover all the extra states I don't have now.
  9. I think SC requires the other state to reciprocate in order for SC to recognize their licenses. Illinois doesn't reciprocate with any other state. Looks like they only recognize states with which they have a formal reciprocity agreement. Illinois has no provision for recognition or agreements spelled out in the law. There are only a few states remaining as potentials for one-way recognition. VA, MN, TX, and an extremely slim chance at NM. Unless some other state/s change their laws, or Illinois starts recognizing other licenses, that's it.
  10. Thank you Gary for the map, and for everything else you do with your site.
  11. There are a few more possibilities. MN, VA, TX, and a slim chance at NM. I think that's it at present.
  12. handgunlaw.us was informed of the NV update and it's on there now. Also, add Montana to the list: http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50808 https://doj.mt.gov/enforcement/concealed-weapons/
  13. I followed the link. It looks like we invaded Kansas and are known as "IllinoisKansas" but I am glad to see we can now carry in another state. Woot!Someone needed to put in a carriage return when they edited the website Either a PITA,, expensive and otherwise useless NV permit or an Idaho Enhanced permit are the only options for permits available to everyone that are recognized in NV. So NV recognition is a big plus.
  14. I've been checking the NVSCA website, guess I was looking in the wrong place. Thanks for the update.
  15. Since it's a fundamental civil right, an unreasonable delay is an infringement.
  16. Every state info page on handgunlaw.us has links to the individual state information pages right on the state websites - the list of links is in the upper right corner of every state page. Virtually all the states that recognize Illinois licenses have simple "recognize all permits" policies, so they will make no mention of Illinois specifically. Wisconsin and Nebraska do make specific mention of Illinois as they have added Illinois recognition due to Illinois license requirements. The link I posted for Nebraska is on the Nebraska State Patrol website, and their regular reciprocity page was also updated to include Illinois in the list of accepted states.
  17. And just so this thread has updated info, add Nebraska to the list: http://illinoiscarry.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=49696
  18. something the state is inviting and they may not like the re.. [[/b]results] Is exactly what the Texas open carry folks are trying to point out. They're trying to get open carry of handguns legalized, by demonstrating the absurdity of open carry of long guns because open carry of handguns is not legal.
  19. There's going to need to be a legislative fix for non-discriminatory issue to non-residents. On another front, in sent a message via their online comment system to the Nebraska AG's office, making sure they were aware of IL's license law and requesting that they review the requirements so that IL licenses would be recognized in NE.
  20. http://www.handgunlaw.us/states/arizona.pdf (can't edit ) since you're probably having trouble with pdf files, here's a text listing for AZ: Arizona AK, AL, AR, DE, GA, IA, ID, IN, KS, KY, LA, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND, NE, NM, OH, OK, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WI, WV, WY
  21. Thanks Trevis. I had tried to access that site, but can't load it from my phone for some reason. I'll give it a try tomorrow night when I get back home.The state pages on that site are all PDF files, your phone may have trouble with those. There's an interactive map which might work, it's here -> http://www.handgunlaw.us/LicMaps/ccwmap.php NOTE: The interactive map does not indicate the states that only recognize resident permits - CO, SC, MI, NH, ME, FL, and some PA. Once you have an IL license, the PA license is the easiest and least expensive to add on if you'd happen to be in PA, since you have to apply in person. For western states, PA would add LA, TX, WY, ND, MT. Utah is a good option but you have to have the Utah-specific training class, nothing else is acceptable. UT would get you WA which neither AZ or FL have, but you lose NM which both of them have. AZ and FL are available with other training options you probably already have. If you have IL already, FL will be the only state that's different between the two. The only current non-resident permits good in NV are NV itself, or the ID "enhanced", both of which you'd have to take training and apply in person. By mid-July, it's possible that the IL license will be recognized in NV.
  22. I severely doubt that you would encounter an IN LEO who was unfamiliar with licensed firearms carry. Indiana recognizes all permits for non-Indiana residents, again, that's not something that any IN LEO is likely going to be unfamiliar with. If for whatever reason you'd come into contact with an IN LEO that you needed to present your IL license, he/she will likely more more interested in seeing what an IL license looks like if there is any interest beyond the mere presence of a carry permit/license.
  23. With the 9th Circuit ruling demanding "shall issue", pick a county and apply for a CA permit. If your family happens to live in one of the counties that is directly affected by the ruling that would be ideal, or else if they're generally amenable to issuing permits.
