My wife and I accidently drove in to Illinois one time. We got off track on a loop. We both have Texas CHL's and we both had guns with us. We sweat blood trying to find a way out.All my kin live in Illinois. Left them & their acceptance of that states politics long ago. After my parents died I had no reason to ever return.
With a Texas CHL, you were legal in IL as long as you kept your guns concealed and inside the car.My wife and I accidently drove in to Illinois one time. We got off track on a loop. We both have Texas CHL's and we both had guns with us. We sweat blood trying to find a way out.
I have been looking and there is not many places that are very friendly to guns. Even worse the same are downright unfriendly to outsiders moving into their domain. Many places are not too open to my collection in general. Like some forums don't cotton to my interference even if I am here to help... anyone!Indiana or Missouri would be far better! I'd rather move then live under gun laws meant for Shitcago that will have no impact of the killing there!
Unfortunately in the People's Gulag of Illinois carry permits from any other state are not recognized here. Soon there will be serious cutback in permits in Illinois. My current CCW for Illinois is due to expire March 1st. I have applied for a renewal two months ago. I have completed the required retraining, range qualifications, instructor fees and license fees and it is on hold, pending "review" by local law enforcement agencies where I live. If there is ANY question by local police departments my application will be denied and an appeal process can be opened that can take up to a year.With a Texas CHL, you were legal in IL as long as you kept your guns concealed and inside the car.
Interesting.... I didn't know there was such a thing. Illinois did not have ANY Concealed Carry until 2014 for citizens. We were the very last State to get permitting unless you were retired law enforcement!Since my daughter moved out, I'll never be going back. I even have a non-resident IL CCL, and I won't be renewing it.
Do not come North of Peoria! Do not bring a gun... you cannot carry here. Illinois does NOT recognize any other state's permits. If you do bring one it must be kept is a locked case UNLOADED! Be careful....... I have two FFL's and I am very wary going to and from museums that I work for. And I stay away from Chicago even if I have to drive 50 miles out of my way.Looks like I’ll be making my first trip to Illinois in a month or so. Have to visit a specialist in Peoria.
Hope I find a way to avoid Chicago.

My old neighborhood.When I decided to travel the United States on my motorcycle, I decided to follow as much of Route 66 as I could. Even then when I got about 50 miles from Chicago, I decided that was far enough and turned around.
Bullets flying around are just part of living in The Gulag. Safety here is only what you get used to, r can tolerate. law enforcement is only for certain groups or locations. In the "barrio" where I live calling the police is better known as "take a number and wait" maybe yes and maybe no. Do not hold your breath. Bullets buzzing around are not really the problem.... BUT ... getting shot really tends to screw-up your day. Getting stabbed on the other hand, hurts like a sumbitch! The missus ans I just hunker down, stay indoors after dark and never travel alone. The wonderful local gestapo has seen fit to deny my concealed carry renewal.Because of all the bullets flying around?
Ironic ...
Well consider Illionis a Sunken Ship Like CommiFornia, and The East Coast Never to be risen again !!! Its truly amazing how these Leftists Get into Power and Ruin States for good from most of the time from one major city!!!
