Illinois Carry

I know that IL is a noncarry state, but I am going to a conference there in a week or two and plan to carry up to the state line. Can anyone offer input as to how to safely carry the firearm in IL in a way that will comply with IL law? I am assuming that in the case of a handgun that separating the unloaded mag and ammo from the weapon would be the best approach, but I am not sure of that. I am not sure that I want to travel unarmed given that 450 of the 500 miles that I have to cover is not in IL. Any input that can be offered would be appreciated.

Thanks,


Neal

Yes, its only 50 miles and yes the likelihood of getting stopped is practically nil. But think about it...are you willing to be the test case?:yu:
 
Neal,
Comply with the federal laws regarding transport.
If you can put your firearm in a locked container different then the ammo.
Don't tell anyone you have a firearm, and don't allow LEO to search your vehicle.

BTW, guns are Illegal in Chicago as you can see.

The victim's friends drove him to Holy Cross Hospital where he is listed in "stable" condition.

No one is in custody for any of the shootings. Wentworth Area, Calumet Area, Belmont Area, Harrison Area and Grand Area detectives are investigating.
 
To bad some of the shooting victims could not shoot back - maybe there would have been a few BG's on the statistic list.:no:
 
Case your weapon

Please case your weapon and keep the ammo in a seperate location. You might also want to google peaceable journey and get a copy of that letter. I grew up in IL and left when I was 18 yrs old. I never looked back.

Non- residents must be legally eligible to possess or acquire firearms and ammunition in their state of residence. It is recommended that, in order to be in compliance with all statutes, non-residents transport all firearms:

1. Unloaded, and
2. Enclosed in a case, and
3. Not immediately accessible or broken down in a nonfunctioning state.

We transport in this condition when going to and from the range. Never had a problem, but never got stopped by LEO either
