Hamish Posted May 14, 2019 at 12:47 PM Posted May 14, 2019 at 12:47 PM (edited) Well, it's been five years and a couple of months now, and we seemingly have made very little to no headway on getting any of the GFZ's in the original law written out. I've been through three background checks, I have a photo ID permit ISSUED BY THE STATE OF ILLINOIS to protect myself and those around me WITH DEADLY FORCE in case of threat of bodily harm, BUT YET I CANT ATTEND A FUNCTION CARRYING IN A SCHOOL TO PROTECT MY GRANDCHILDREN. Rant over,,,,,,, Edited May 14, 2019 at 01:00 PM by Hamish

Here's a table comparing all states: Weapons in Schools Take it with a grain of salt, though. It says a FOID is a CCL in IL. (Basically it says IL CCLs are allowed to FOID-carry in schools.) The federal Gun-Free Kill School Zone Act does not prohibit otherwise-legal concealed carry in schools. It's state laws that prohibit that. FWIW, it looks like the only state to permit all concealed carriers in schools is Alabama. All other states that allow concealed carry in schools also require the individual to obtain explicit permission from the school board or school administrators.

vito Posted November 1, 2022 at 03:43 PM Posted November 1, 2022 at 03:43 PM Coyotes are often seen on the extensive grounds of a local community college. I have been told that some of those who walk their dogs on these grounds carry concealed as a protection against possible coyote attack. This is one area that I would hope someday can be removed from the "do not carry" list here in IL, along with public transportation.
sin Posted June 30, 2023 at 09:09 PM Posted June 30, 2023 at 09:09 PM Unpopular opinion: i carry everywhere cause its "concealed" so... obviously im not brining it with me to a gov buildings and places where i know they will have a metal detectors etc. But everywhere else - my g19 is always with me.

rmart Posted July 17, 2023 at 02:14 AM Posted July 17, 2023 at 02:14 AM Maybe because it's easier to carry a bicycle away?

CFREUND01 Posted November 30, 2023 at 02:31 AM Posted November 30, 2023 at 02:31 AM As far as prohibited areas where we can’t carry and have to leave firearm in vehicle. If wearing let’s say a shoulder rig with 2 mags counterbalancing holster, would I need to also remove the 2 loaded mags and leave in car? I’ve tried to find something to do with extra loaded mags but have been unsuccessful. Cheers.

The question really is about where unloaded ammo is prohibited. If it's not 50 BMG, then it's not prohibited anywhere by state law. There are some places you wouldn't be allowed to take it, even though it's not technically illegal. For example, if you tried to take ammo into a state court house, it's unlikely you'd be successful. Structurally, the intent of the Concealed Carry Act is to provide an exception to the UUW statute. However, the UUW statute doesn't prohibit ammunition alone based solely on location.

dukemason Posted January 12, 2024 at 06:01 PM Posted January 12, 2024 at 06:01 PM The way I read the restrictions, the parking lot of a local police department should be OK for concealed carry. Is that correct? For face-to-face Ebay and Internet sales, police department parking lots should be a little safer than random parking lots.
Redlin Posted January 12, 2024 at 07:24 PM Posted January 12, 2024 at 07:24 PM That's the way I've always read it.Under prohibited places #5 only the buildings or portions of buildings under control of local govt.Got into a slight argument about this with my last ccl instructor
John Q Public Posted January 12, 2024 at 07:43 PM Posted January 12, 2024 at 07:43 PM Police parking lots are out, you could have it in the car, but not outside of it. Police are part of the, "Executive branch." ICCL prohibits carrying there. JQ

John Q Public Posted January 13, 2024 at 10:02 PM Posted January 13, 2024 at 10:02 PM Please show us where local is not exec....
Redlin Posted January 17, 2024 at 01:39 PM Posted January 17, 2024 at 01:39 PM I just figured it was common knowledge ,but here is short but to the point rundown... https://www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-white-house/our-government/state-local-government/ Second from the last paragraph. You can also carry in county courthouse parking lots under the same subsection.Learned that on jury duty.
joker Posted February 17, 2024 at 02:05 PM Posted February 17, 2024 at 02:05 PM What's the story with cook county forest preserves now It looks like the code was rewritten to say on the trails OK, but anywhere else not OK ? There was a lawsuit over this 1 or 2 years ago? I frequent the trails biking and running, would like to carry but don't want to loose my gun rights

Since “Concealed” Carry became lawful in Illinois how many card carrying holders have actually been charged with - prosecuted - and lost their “gun rights” for carrying “Concealed” in a prohibited place? I don’t recall seeing any news stories of such actually happening.

I frequent the trails biking and running, would like to carry but don't want to loose my gun rights In Solomon v Cook County the ban on carry on Cook County Forest Preserves was found unconstitutionally broad. A few bills have been introduced attempting to skirt this. None have become law.
joker Posted February 17, 2024 at 02:43 PM Posted February 17, 2024 at 02:43 PM I did read the code and the cc forest preserve part has changed, used to say real property or something like that , now the code lists all the areas you can't carry in, trails is not listed, so that's why I'm checking. Thanks
