wwillson Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 It finally happened 5/31/2013. It never would have happened this year without the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel in Chicago affirming a constitutional right to have ready-to-use firearms for self-defense outside the home. Full bill here The new law is a Shall-Issue, with a twist that a law enforcement agency can deny the permit based on someone being a known bad actor, but the individual has a right to appeal to a state concealed carry board. It required 16 hrs of training from a Illinois certified instructor and will have a fee of $150/5yrs. Concealed carry in IL will also preempt home-rule, which is a very good thing.It's about time. We'll see how this all plays out soon.Wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted June 2, 2013 Report Share Posted June 2, 2013 Did they ever do everything they were supposed to do? By that, I mean I was hearing that whoever was to write the detailed final version of the licensing procedure was dragging their feet so that while it was technically legal, they wouldn't have a process in place. That sounded typical, so I don't really give it much chance of actually happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GLOCK7 Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 Where is this bill in the process? Has your Governor signed it yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wwillson Posted June 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 The Governor hasn't signed it and nobody knows what he's going to do, but something has to be done by July 8, or constitutional carry will be law (without a law) and hundreds of local carry ordinances will ruin everything.

wwillson Posted June 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 AG just requested yet another 30 day extension, which the judge said not to ask for again. We'll see what happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted June 18, 2013 Report Share Posted June 18, 2013 I want to offer congrats, but with IL politics, this is definitely one of those don't count your chickens before they hatch times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnewton3 Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 It is my understanding that the bill has a provision that preempts any local ord; means Chicago cannot pull thier typical BS. Congrats! Those of us who have had CCW forever welcome you to the world of personal defense outside the home.Now - if you all can get suppressors and SMGs, you'll be equal with us Hoosiers ...

LeverAction Posted September 20, 2013 Report Share Posted September 20, 2013 What about reciprocity.My understanding is that if you have an Iowa CCP, you may have a free "pass-through" but your firearm has to be locked up and out of reach, as per the latest CCP class I attended.
