FOR THE ILLINOIS RESIDENTS:Concealed Carry is here

I know this is very selfish of me, but I wish that a Supreme Court regarding carry would make a ruling regarding open/concealed carry. My part of the country is still in the dark ages on the subject.
 
You're not alone-I have relatives in NJ. I think your odds of getting a CCW in LA are probably higher than NJ. Don't worry though a case will be before the high court before you know it!
 
Aren't they actually voting on gun control this week?

I think I got an alert from NRA-ILA that they're proposing semi-auto bans?

Did the carry legislation get crowded out by the gun-control proposals?

Advice?

The 14 north towards Lancaster.

Take the first exit after "A" at the northern edge of Lancaster: You are now in Kern County. If you get to Rosamond you are 5 miles too far north.

Buy the cheapest POS mobile home you can find and park a junk car next to it and register it there.

View with pride your new "residence". Go to Rosamind and enjoy dinner at "Si Senor Taco" (trust me here).

Apply for your CCW to the Kern County Sherriff.

Carry anyplace in CA your little heart desires.

Use your mobile home for weekends, and walk out into the desert and shoot just about anything you like.


The difference between CA and other places is that CA may as well be 30 different small states. Some are effectively shall-issue. Some are effectively "no-issue". Equal protection under the law anyone?

In NJ it's no-issue in disguise, in IL it's no-issue until June.

Chicagoland....

I read a media item(Chicago Sun Times or Chicago Tribune I don't recall) about a Chicago city elected official who was strongly anti-gun anti-2A yet, had a valid PI license & a concealed carry license for years. :rolleyes:

The double-standards and audacity some politicos have is off the charts but IL & Chicagoland seem to have more than their share.

I feel for the gun owners & 2A supporters in the Windy City but they need to stay on the local media(which could be slanted too) to report these hypocrites & anti-gun activists.

The person your referring to (I think ) was Sen. Donne Trotter, who tried to bring his carry gun onto a plane, with the excuse that he'd forgotten it was in his pocket.

http://chicago.cbslocal.com/2012/12...ter-arrested-for-trying-to-take-gun-on-plane/

What makes this particularly offensive is that his salary as a Senator is $65,000 plus additional pay depending on the committees he was on. This is not counting other benefits and "gifts" that may be given him. Why does a person making this kind of money need a $9 an hour security job? Oh i know, to have a card allowing him to carry a gun. I I'd let that pass except he doesn't want to extend the same right to the rest of us] :rolleyes:
 
Quinn...

The Alderman or Chicago bigwig I mean may be Bill Quinn or Pat Quinn.
He has a PI license and claims he needs a firearm for protection but is anti-2A/anti gun.
I'll do a little research later on. I'm not clear on all the details but it's in Cook County/Chi-Town.

It may not matter. If the good governor vetoes, then there will be no carry law as permissively allowed by the Court of Appeals, and the Court will then issue an injuction barring Illinois from enforcing its ban on concealed carry. Do you think that will happen? I hope these guys are smart enough to know that a law they don't like is beter than no law at all.
 
It's possible(how likely I'm not sure) that they're willing to let the 180 days expire, and let the carry law expire and then let each county make their own no carry zones. The problem is that people traveling will have problems trying to navigate through all the different local ordinances that may spring up. Outside of Chicago/Cook may not be a problem, but you can bet Chicago will try to play some games.
