Hamish Posted May 14, 2019 at 12:47 PM Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Euler Posted May 14, 2019 at 06:13 PM Share Posted May 14, 2019 at 06:13 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. ...Schools are unlikely to ever be removed from the prohibited list. 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
