Illinois is still up in the air with their carry law. Some are even saying they just might not pass anything and let local governments have total control. If this happens there will be hundreds of carry laws in Illinois and cataloging them all would be impossible for Handgunlaw.us. This would be a total mess. They have until June 9th to come up with a bill. We will know in the next couple of weeks how things will play out in Illinois. I have refrained from evening reading the bills put forth as they are changing so much from one day to the next.

www.handgunlaw.us has just added an “Open Carry Without a Permit/License” Section to each states page. It doesn’t go into great detail about Open Carry but states if it is legal or not and gives people other resources to checkout for more information on the subject. If you have time I would appreciate you checking out your states new Open Carry Section and give me any feedback on what it contains. Do check out a couple other states Open Carry Section as you will see most give the same basic info. Please email me ( admins@handgunlaw.us ) with any feedback or by clicking on “Contact Us” at the bottom of the main page at www.handgunlaw.us I will definitely see that and can miss a Private Message. I try to read every reply to my posts but I also have family that comes first.

Handgunlaw.us over the years has added other info to each states page based mainly on the questions I receive from those who use the site. I believe I have answered every relevant email I have received. I don’t always have an answer to their question and in those instances try to steer them to someone who can give them an answer. Please give me time to respond to any emails you send. I also depend on people just like you to give me a heads up on law changes that happen in the different states. I couldn’t do this all by myself. “Thank You” for all your assistance over the years! It is very much appreciated!!
 
OC in Indiana

I reviewed the information about OCing in Indiana. I would say you are spot on, but while OCing is not very common, I personally have had no issues with LEOs engaging me while OCing. Most of the people I have met have been inquisitive or even grateful to see me carrying. I also think it's very regional, with OC being more accepted in the southern part and less so in the northern end of the state (near the Illinois border).
