Prohibited Carry Zones - 23 Categories

[Lou]

Does anyone invest with a local Edward Jones branch? I don’t typically frequent my broker’s office, but happened to stop in for some paperwork. I noticed he had posted the IL no firearms sign on his door. So went to another EJ office here in town and there also was posted.

I reviewed the list of forbidden zones and cannot come up with anything that would indicate that this type of office is “required” to post.

Does anyone else invest with these guys and does anyone know if it is their choice to be posting or is it required, something I’m possibly missing in the list?

 

 

It's corporate policy that ALL Edward Jones offices get posted. I will not do business with them.

[RoadyRunner]

It's quite funny. I helped out at my Daughters schools 'Fathers Forum' last year. They had their meetings at an unposted location, so I carried every time. The guy leading it manages an Edward Jones location. He was so anti that even if it wasn't corporate policy, I'm certain he would have posted it himself!

 

If only he knew what was in my pocket the whole time.....

Several Edward Jones locations in Illinois appear on the Posted! site. You can search for specific locations.

I had occasion to be in this building today. It's a health-plex that houses various medical practices. There is a convenient-care clinic on site. On the surface it appears to be owned by the Genesis health group (which operates hospitals in Iowa). Yet, it is not posted. I fully expected to see the compliant sign and was going to photograph it for the Posted app.

 

So, are they unposted in violation of Illinois statute, or are they not a "hospital affiliate" despite sharing the name and logo of a hospital.

None of their Illinois facilities are compliant, even the Genesis Silvis Hospital campus, formerly known as Illini Hospital. They have been made aware of the law, and their posting requirements. They just don't seem to care.

Which is strange because their Iowa campuses do have "no guns" signs on them (obviously not the Illinois sign). So we know it's not that they're friendly to CCW.

I've carried everyday in Chicago for almost two weeks now. I've been presently surprised that I've only had to disarm once and that was to enter my sons high school which was NOT posted (yet).

 

I've transported legally on CTA trains and buses. While technically disarming, it's still within reach if required.

 

All in all not too bad so far. Just my two cents.

How do you do this? How is it possible to legally carry on public transportation?

[kster]

you can't legally carry a concealed handgun as a civilian on public transportation under IL's CCL laws.

 

"Concealed firearm" means a loaded or unloaded handgun carried on or about a person completely or mostly concealed from view of the public or on or about a person within a vehicle.

 

he has transported the firearm abiding to FOID regulations. encased and unloaded.

Plus that's almost three years old now.

Wonder if he's still doing it?

I stopped using Uber and Lyft, deleted the apps off my phone due to their unfair No Firearm policy for riders.

Not really within the scope of the locations prohibited in law, though - just company policy.

Is there a condensed version that runs down the list? I like to read this from time to time to refresh my memory, but it is a long list full of legal jargon and quite wordy. A condensed version would be great for those on the go or in a hurry so they can quickly reference what is legal and illegal.

Section 65 of the FCCA is probably about the most condensed you're going to get, and the legal jargon matters as it specifies buildings, real property, parking lots, etc.

 

If you want specifics, I'd recommend buying the Posted! app from the Apple or Google Play store.

I refuse to use both of them because they're both researching the self-driving car. Every driver working for them is working to ensure their own personal obsolescence and unemployment.

Maybe you meant CCW App, which was developed by our fellow IC member Xwing who also developed the Posted App.

Thanks Molly!! That's perfect!

That too, but that's more for determining which states your CCL is good in... while the Posted! app will provide specifically prohibited locations.

 

Either way, both are more than worth the buck or two that they cost.

Not trying to derail the thread, but CCW App is not just determining which state our CCL is good in. It actually has each state Firearm Law/Concealed Carry Act as well as their corresponding prohibited areas by statute and a lot more . While the Posted app gives you specific places, those are user submitted information and not all places are listed especially those covered by the statute.

Yeah, the CCW App is great. It actually links to the applicable statutes for every state so that you can read for yourself the exact law if you want to confirm the summary that the app provides. I consider it an absolutely essential tool for anyone planning on carrying in a different state.

[jawman]

Another good website I reference is handgunlaw.us. Has handgun laws and CC laws per state, and is a reader friendly version. Often times the statutes are so wordy and long it makes it a pain to read, and I find myself skimming it trying to find the relevant information, which leaves the risk of missing something important.

(13) Any public park, athletic area, or athletic facility under the control of a municipality or park district...

 

Comlara Park is just North of Bloomington/Normal and under the control of the McLean County Department of Parks and Recreation. Since McLean County isn't a "municipality", I wondered if its Parks and Rec Dept be classified as a "park district"? Should carry be permissible there as it is in a State Park? I haven't been there for some time and don't know if anything there is posted.

I would think that “McLean County Department of Parks and Recreation” is a “Park District” within the meaning of the Law.

I was looking at Illinois laws about parks and came across 70 ILCS 1205, which is the Illinois Park District Code. It sounds like a "Park District" is a specific sort of entity with its own elected governing body (Commissioners, etc.). Is this what the concealed carry act was referring to? This makes me wonder if the McLean County Department Parks and Recreation could have been formed under this code since its Director appears to be appointed by the County Board and it doesn't appear to be organized under 70 ILCS 1205. As usual, Illinois' concealed carry law leaves me somewhat confused and questioning...

 

Comlara Park is about 10-15 miles North of Normal and, as I said before, I haven't been up there in a while so maybe I'll take a trip to see if it's posted.

In taking the risk of sounding stupid - I have a question regarding the recent Illinois Supreme Court decision regarding the 1000 feet ban to parks.

Did this 1000 feet ban apply to CCL holders ? Im reading articles and posts and its not clear to me what the answer is. Im well aware of the vehicle safe harbor provision which seems to trump the 1000 feet ban. But prior to the over ruling of the supreme courts 100 feet ban, would it have been breaking the law to carry while walking your dog in the street with your ccw on your person within 1000 feet of a public park ?

No, this does not apply to FCCL holders. The FCCA act pre-empts licensees.

It predates the concealed carry law and applies directly to the UUW. It will benefit those convicted of carrying within 1000 ft of a park since it is unconstitutional. It may also protect those that carry while hunting fishing and trapping since such an activity might cause some people to be in violation depending on how close a park is.

[bmurph44]

WOW, after reading post #1 wouldn’t it be much easier to post where carrying is allowed.....lol

[borgranta]

If statewide open carry were to become a reality such a ruling would benefit an open carrier
