Concealed Carry Reciprocy

I am going to be taking a trip with my son in March to Michigan. We will be traveling thru Indiana, then into Michigan. Is my Illinois Concealed Carry permit recognized by those two states?
 
With elections this year, I would hope each of us will take the opportunity to ask ALL the candidates to implement national standards so that law abiding citizens could legally travel with peace of mind.
 
You need to go to this website: http://www.usacarry.com/concealed_carry_permit_reciprocity_maps.html

It will answer all of your questions. I went there this morning while on my way from NC to Tennessee. I found out that I don't have to tell a police officer (if I am stopped or something) that I have a concealed weapon. I can also carry a loaded pistol, rifle or shotgun in the car with me. I cannot take my pistol with me into any park or most other government-owned property.

It really pays to do what you're doing and check it out carefully before traveling. After I decided where to go for dinner tonight, and decided on a place that does not serve alcohol, I took my pistol inside with me. Even if I had not planned on drinking, I would hae NOT taken it into a palce that serves alcohol.

We do that and we end up with more Federal restrictions like the Federal Gun Free School Act, the 18 USC 930 prohibition of possessing firearms in Federal facilities, and the prohibition of firearms on Postal Service property - all from false authority granted to the Federal government to ignore the Second Amendment under the abuse of the Interstate Commerce Clause.
 
Thanks for the link to the maps. I travel long distances via motorcycle and like to know in advance where my carry is permitted.
 
Jaore,
You might want to download any of the available reciprocity websites for this trip and others.
I can tell you this much, though, the Utah license I was an instructor for stated it was good in Florida. Then I read Florida's take on the reciprocity of Utah and at the bottom it stated: Only if you are a Utah resident. I trained people in Oregon, and found this discrepancy to be wrong to teach. So always look at the small print on the state's that you are going to.

Cheers, BW

Also, see Handgunlaw.us for up-to-date state-specific information. TN law has changed last year. See guns in parks, for example.

Welcome to Tennessee.

The right to freedom being a gift of ALMIGHTY GOD, it is not in the power of man to alienate this gift and voluntarily become a slave.” —Samuel Adams, 1772

I assume your Illinois license is a resident license, and you aren't one of the 19 nonresidents who actually managed to get one?

Illinois residents with an Illinois license can carry in Michigan. Nonresidents with an Illinois license cannot. Michigan doesn't recognize licenses issued by a state other than the visitor's home state.
 
Just looked and according to Handgunlaw.com, Michigan does accept CC from Illinois as long as you are an Illinois resident.

Yes, the chance of the OP having a non-resident Illinois carry permit is rather small given his post, so I assumed that the OP is a resident of Illinois. Only residents of Hawaii, New Mexico, South Carolina and Virginia are permitted to apply for a non-resident Illinois carry permit.
