DWRSO Posted August 18, 2022 at 08:41 PM Share Posted August 18, 2022 at 08:41 PM Can someone please clarify the legality of magazine capacity in Chicago and Cook county? Specifically, is a licensed conceal carry person restricted with regards to magazine capacity when carrying in Chicago and Cook county? Final question: Do the Cook County magazine restrictions apply to all of Cook county or are their exceptions based on individual city restrictions (home rule cities as an example)?

Many retailers will not ship magazines above 10 rounds to Chicago or Cook. Some will not ship to Illinois. There is a false but longstanding bias against Chicago... including by some Illinois gun owners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
solareclipse2 Posted August 19, 2022 at 01:38 PM Share Posted August 19, 2022 at 01:38 PM I can tell you for a fact that Palmetto State Armory will not ship magazines over 10 rounds to anywhere in Cook county. They stole the mag out of my pistol because it was a 15 round magazine. Their customer service linked me to a section on their website that said they were going to steal my magazine as though that somehow made it ok and then when I asked to escalate the matter they stopped responding to my emails.

I do my best to avoid that. I also boycotted a local bar run by a democrat. If I wanted to give money to gun grabbers, I'd skip the middle man and give direct. It's like patronizing a business with a no gun sign on the window. On 8/22/2022 at 4:07 PM, soundguy said: Lol. Iroquois. Do you wanna buy 20 acres? The corruption down here definitely needs attention. I heard the state police are giving it some. I'm glad there are people that like the cities and towns.

Them swiping the mag out of my pistol was the pretty much the last straw for me but they do have low prices and some deals that might be hard to pass up so I can kind of see why someone would do business with them. Sig Sauer would not ship 17 round P365 X Macro magazines to me either. I had to have those shipped somewhere outside of Cook county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
