defaultdotxbe Posted August 12, 2015 at 08:50 PM Share Posted August 12, 2015 at 08:50 PM 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. I don't think you understand the concept of "rights", if you think your constituents should have some privilege that others do not. 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. It's hard for others to understand, but some legislators treat all people like people and don't play tit for tat with their rights Sent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For as much media attention as there was in IL on concealed carry, it was blacked out in the nationwide media and there were and remain many around the country who are ignorant as to Illinois having carry. I recently sent an email to Washington state, as their reciprocity page still said that there was no concealed carry in Illinois for residents or non-residents. I see they've changed the page in the last few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamma Posted August 22, 2015 at 06:02 PM Share Posted August 22, 2015 at 06:02 PM If you want another one to call Molly, try Virginia. They have a handful of states listed for one-way recognition but best anyone could tell me they've never analyzed Illinois toward that end. AFAIK that would be the last of the possibilities for one-way recognition states unless there's a law change somewhere. New Mexico could in theory but in practice they only do formal reciprocity.

It looks like you are correct. I was going by the provisions posted in post 217. This is the rest of the section. "(c ) The attorney general of the State of Texas shall annually:(1) submit a report to the governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house of representatives listing the states the attorney general has determined qualify for recognition under Subsection (b ); and(2) review the statutes of states that the attorney general has determined do not qualify for recognition under Subsection (b ) to determine the changes to their statutes that are necessary to qualify for recognition under that subsection.(d ) The attorney general of the State of Texas shall submit the report required by Subsection (c )(1) not later than January 1 of each calendar year".- See more at: http://codes.lp.findlaw.com/txstatutes/GV/4/B/411/H/411.173#sthash.qJhcYk0a.dpuf How much pressure a non-Texan can exert on their state government is another question. A larger body e.g. a state or national organization would probably get more notice. I do not want to get too negative on Texas here. There may be additional applicable laws of which we are unaware. It could just be a matter of simple oversight and Molly's reminder may be all that was needed. They did move rather quickly who Ohio changed its laws. That was state government to state government rather than a single nonresident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard this rumor from only one source, so I do not want to be unduly alarmed.I have seen silly rumors like this several times being passed around on social media, both Missouri and Kentucky. Both states are "recognize all permits" by statute, they do not specifically recognize the Illinois license. Some states (such as I believe Indiana) make specific mention of not recognizing the Illinois FOID as a carry license this is sometimes misinterpreted as the state "no longer recognizing Illinois carry licenses". There are some IL residents who seem to perpetuate rumors like that as a sort of defense mechanism, to provide excuses for why they don't get an IL carry license. ASRM, if by chance you'd happen to be traveling to or through Pennsylvania prior to your Texas trip, the PA licenses are easy and inexpensive and are recognized in Texas as well.

MO & KY recognize all states by statute. The only way they would stop recognizing the Illinois FCCL is if they passed a new reciprocity law that was very restrictive and overwrote their existent one. Very unlikely. With your Illinois permit, you can legally carry in 26 states (including carrying permitless in ME, since ME doesn't recognize IL) I very much doubt this will number will go down. But it probably won't go up by more than 1 or 2, unless other states switch to "permitless carry" or to "recognize all state permits". Most of the rest of the states only recognize those states who recognize them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
