For anyone that is interested in following the current status: we are no further along than before. The legislature failed to address this issue during the Spring session, so military members stationed in IL who hold a driver's license from another state (that describes the vast majority of the ~20,000 stationed here) cannot conceal carry in Illinois. Only exceptions are members who happen to be a resident of and hold a concealed carry permit from HI, SC, VA, or NM.
