Concealed Carry in Illinois
Changes start with meeting like-minded people and networking:
- One of the keys to securing a Right to Carry law in the state of Illinois is to inform and educate the public about the Right to Carry and how successful it is in the 48 states that have concealed carry provisions and in Wisconsin where the right to openly carry firearms for personal and family protection is recognized as lawful.
Many residents of Illinois do not know that 49 states have some form of right to carry law nor do they know Illinois is the last and only state to prohibit carrying a firearm for personal protection. With the media bias against the Right to Carry we cannot rely on the mainstream media to get the word out - we must take the message to the public and IllinoisCarry is doing just that with our Right to Carry town hall meetings.
Meetings are as follows:
- Debate: "Should People Be Allowed to Carry Handguns in Chicago?"
When: Saturday, June 5, 2010 8:00 PM
Where:
Lincoln Restaurant
4008 N Lincoln Ave
Chicago IL 60618
Cook County Right to Carry Town Hall Meeting
Thursday May 27, 2010
7:00-9:00 pm
Serbian Social Center

Is another grass root organization, working hard to bring Concealed Carry to IL. Great people on both icarry & illinoiscarry.
I'll be there!
I'll be at the Lincoln Restaurant event... by myself. Oh well.
For the sake of accuracy, Wisconsin doesn't allow carry either.
C'mon? Who are we kidding. We live in the Peoples Republic of Illinois. We're the laughing stock of.....Ohio! Illinois is an embarrasment of monumental proportions.
We have public aid recipents and spineless liberals all voting for democrats. The politicians would rather you were a victim so they can show how much they care about you rather than let to take care of yourself.
Why, it would be like the gunfight at the OK Corral if we allowed people to be legally armed. These retards haven't noticed it ALREADY is the gunfight at the OK Corral. Except the good people are defenseless.
If a carry system is past, will the city come out with its own FOID cards and special licenses if you wish to carry here? With of course high $$$ to get also with heavy fines if you don't have?
With Chicago becoming Dodge City, right-to-carry should be mandatory.
With a limited police force (your own admission here on SCC), a person has the right to defend themselves and should be afforded full use of those Constitutionally guaranteed rights.
All those NOT in favor should disband their private entourage of police (valets/ house mice) to set an example that you don't need to be heavily armed while visiting Chicago.
If there was concealed carry, crime would drop considerably (a la Florida).
No one wants to try to rob someone with a knife or .22 Saturday night special only to find the "victim" pulling out a .45.
Can I bring my gun???
I am still not sure where I stand on this. My problem is the system' Who will train the citizen who believes he can shoot a gun out of someones hands, who will teach retension, the actual law on self defense. This blog whips the Chicago Public School system on a regular basis, do you thing our honor students can comprehend the difference in self defence and being disrespected, I am sorry I don't.
Illinois needs to join the 21st Century like the other 49 states. Clearly the current regime is failure.
shortshanks keeps misinforming the the people of chicago of CCW .. leading them to believe everyone including the criminal elememt can legally carry firearms , implying "wild west shoot outs "
his comment on how 1st responders with handle or be safe on their jobs ...
wake up mr mayor it is being done every day 48 times more than chicago..
wake up mr mayor !
the only thing your gun ban has done is arm criminals
and the proof -
crime and murder Daley (daily)
.
.
Wisconsin, it is legal to open carry, but not in a vehicle, or school zone.

As the original post states, WI recognizes open carry.
Wisconsin has open carry, but not concealed carry.
Open carry, is of course, not without issues, unless you're in an area where it's customary.
WAKE UP CHICAGO
how many times have you , law abiding citizens , been searched during a routine traffic violation.
buy a small handgun , if you have to use it , the least of your worries is it wasn't registered
no jury will convict you
I heard the citizens on the Westside calling the old timer a hero and stating they will react the same way
remember if you are in fear of your life , you are justfied in using deadly force
we cannot afford private security guards like the mayor daley and his politcal friends
they can afford their own security but we the citizens are paying for it
get an FOID card , spend a few hundred on a handgun and protect yourself
these gangbangers have rap sheets 2 pages long and they carry without an foid card
Re: Anon @2:25, to be COMPLETELY accurate Wisconsin does allow open carry.

Wisconsin law DOES allow open carry, but not CC; however, some localities there might not look favorably upon it.
What would be nice is IL recognizing a "License to Carry," period!
For the sake of accuracy, Wisconsin doesn't allow carry either.
--------------------------------
concealed carry is not legal for the people who need it the most but limited open carry is legal.
Check out this link to see how far behind Illinois and Wisconsin are:

What also needs to be beat into most everyone is that this right has existed since the Bill of Rights was ratified.
Permits and licensing are infringments to the Second Amendment.
Currently,Vermont,Alaska,Arizona recognize it as a fundamental right.
Join the NRA or ISRA or both!!!!
A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

It already is,its called the 2nd Amendment to the Bill of Rights.
Thank you so much SCC for posting this!
please visit Illinoiscarry.com and help us restore our right to self-defense!
You know, for what it is worth, Illinois does not actually prohibit open carry all over the stte. If you read 24-1a4 and 24-1a10 carefully the prohibition is of carryling concealed, and carrying in any manner inside the limits of a city, village or town. Anywhere else, rural area, unincorporated area, it is legal on the theory of if something isnot specifically prohibited it is permitted. From what I have seen there is a lot of open carry going on in downstate Illinois.
It is about time though that Illinois caught up with the majority of the rest of the US.
To "5/27/2010 02:25:00 AM" Double check your facts, WI, unlike Illinois, permits its residents to carry OPENLY unless prohibited by the property owner or a government building. It's not much of a distinction unless you happen to be threatened by some armed thugs as you walk down the street. Then... not so insignificant a distinction.
I VOTE for "carry and conceal law" in Illinois and I vote against Mayor Daley and eggheads every chance I get!
Can I get an event number squad?!
Da Pelon!
Wisconsin allows open carry now. Not in the car though....just passed recently.

I heard from a WI native that the governor passed a law forbidding law enforcement to harass anyone who is carrying openly. I don't know what kind of restrictions there are on WHERE one can carry (banks, bars, etc), but do know for sure that loaded carry, open or not, in a vehicle is illegal.
I wouldn't want to be the only one walking down the street with a holster on but if I saw others, I'd totally do it myself. I'm a law abiding citizen. There's no reason NOT to, so long as it's legal and the cops aren't out to bust your balls every 5 seconds, which if you're not speeding, they aren't.
We don't need "that" here. Why, we're so sophisticated here in northern Illinois....
When I was a youth, Royko used to say that Chicago should secede from the rest of Illinois to get away from the rural rednecks of the rest of the state. I agreed with him then and I still agree with him now. The difference is now I'd rather live with the rubes and hicks than the sophisticates up here. At least the hicks have some common sense.
In Chicago... The gangs carry just fine; Uzi, 9miL. ,Mac10, GLocks, 380s...
WI also prohibits loaded and uncased weapons in boats.
Archie Bunker had it right
in that episode of all in the family
If everyone has one whose gonna try
Forgot the exact lines ages ago from his news bit but it was damn fine logic
I am still not sure where I stand on this. My problem is the system' "Who will train the citizen who believes he can shoot a gun out of someones hands, who will teach retension, the actual law on self defense. This blog whips the Chicago Public School system on a regular basis, do you thing our honor students can comprehend the difference in self defence and being disrespected, I am sorry I don't."
I'm sorry buddy, but that statement is "daleylike" at best.
I am a gun-owning citizen that holds Conceal Carry permits in 6 states, allowing me RTC is about 38states.....except my own.
I don't know where you get the idea that an Illinois Carry provision would somehow create a new gun-owning population that wouldn't have the capacity to understand basic gun safety.
what's THAT about?
Its NOT the law-abiding, gun-owning, RTC permit holders you need to worry about, its the other assholes out there that base-creatures like daley and the rest of the anti-gunners think they can somehow legislate and control.
What does Shortshanks mean "I don't know" if the 80year old Korean War vet will be charged?
The decision should be a simple, non-political decision: charge him.
But that would make the Mayor look like an idiot (too late, I know) And the case in court would go nowhere. With a little luck and skill, the accused could delay and have the case continued until after the SCOTUS hands down its decision.
If the City decides not to charge him, the safe spineless course of action, how do they justify keeping his guns? He should demand to charged or have his guns returned.
Regarding the CCW laws in other states, there is wide variance on how easy those permits are to get. Some states, like Vermont, are wide open easy. No permit required.
California has CCW, but the police purposely drag their feet processing the applications, to the point where the NRA has sued LAPD over their non-processing of applications.
And New York State supposedly has a CCW law, but good luck getting a license. Some say it is easier to get elected Pope than to get a NY CCW permit.
Exactly the scum aren't linked to it they have zero care in using it to do wrong
Any honest decent person with one knows it's on them all the way
Exactly like car owners 'n car jackers one if they hit shit will do right one will run you over to get away
So where's the evil mumbles? J-fuck? Silence or outrage from the very shits who spawned the scum is all we'll hear for now
