guys and gals, with everything pooping up at the local level, I have a new project to embark upon which I am asking for your help.

I don’t have time to go look at every municipal code to find all of their firearms ordinances. Now we know where some of the hot bed activity is taking place. But I would ask each of you to take a few minutes and scour the websites of your towns and the ones next to you to see if they have any ordinances about firearms. I know the state police have a list, but it is not updated very often and appears somewhat out of date.

So if you find something, please post a link to the code/cite here in this thread.

I am especially interested in those towns that are outside of Cook County. As in the 2nd or 3rd Judicial Districts.

Thanks for your help,

Todd

For those who do not know:

 

BY LAW {I know, this is Illinois} every municipality must post their firearms ordinances on this ISP website: http://www.isp.state.../ordinances.cfm

 

And again, this being Illinois, when they passed this law they did not put in place any penalties for non-compliance, just like the FOID act.

 

Check it out for yourself but know that a municipality not complying with this PA does not relieve you from complying with them.

Sells, manufacturers, purchases, possesses or carries any weapon from which more than eight (8) shots or bullets may be discharged by a single function of the firing device,

I always thought the 8 shots thing was a bit odd. Like if you were to have a machine gun with a 7 round fixed magazine it would be OK lol (I realize that would still be banned at the state level though)

Moline it is illegal to carry a gun. Supposedly illegal to sell or own exploding bullets. Illegal to sell or own an air rifle I believe. I'm on my phone right now so after I get out of bed I'll get you the specifics and links.

Unless something changed air guns of all kinds (including paintball but excluding airsoft) have been illegal to sell as long as I remember.
