There is a "safe pass through" provision in HB 183 that allows people from other states that can legally carry ( with a permit or not ) to keep a loaded firearm in their car while in Illinois. Illinois residents with non resident permits however CAN NOT have a loaded gun in their vehicle without an Illinois Concealed Carry License which is a year away if one can possibly qualify. This really shows how our rulers feel about Illinois residents. Excerpt from the bill pertaining to non residents carrying loaded weapons in their vehicles:
(e) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit a non-resident from
6 transporting a concealed firearm within his or her vehicle in
7 Illinois, if the concealed firearm remains within his or her
8 vehicle and the non-resident:
9 (1) is not prohibited from owning or possessing a
10 firearm under federal law;
11 (2) is eligible to carry a firearm in public under the
12 laws of his or her state or territory of residence; and
13 (3) is not in possession of a license under this Act.
14 If the non-resident leaves his or her vehicle unattended,
15 he or she shall store the firearm within a locked vehicle or
16 locked container within the vehicle in accordance with
17 subsection (b) of Section 65 of this Act.
Number 11. It does not say you have to have a permit from your state, only that you are elegible to carry in public.
Also, the distasteful "duty to inform" portion of this act only applies to those that have been issued an Illinois Concealed Carry license. There is no mention of duty to inform for non residents that carry in their vehicles.
What is even more laughable is that with all of the restricted areas, and criminal penalties, a year from now when you take all the training, and give up all your privacy, and make it past the Governor's permit denying board, you will effectively only be able to carry in you car anyway. And, as an Illinois CCL holder you will be subject to giving up your 4th and 5th amendment rights because of Duty to Inform.
Ugh! Steaming pile of poo!
