Feeling confused about transporting your gun in Illinois? You're not alone!
Navigating firearm transport laws in Illinois can be tricky for residents and non-residents. Knowing the difference between "carrying" and "transporting" is crucial.
For Illinois Residents: Always have your FOID or CCL. Transport requires the firearm to be broken down, not accessible, or unloaded and cased. Cases don't usually need to be locked for general transport. Carrying requires a CCL.
For Non-Residents: No FOID needed for transport. Similar rules apply: broken down, not accessible, or unloaded and cased. Cases generally don't need to be locked. Carrying concealed in a vehicle is allowed if you're eligible in your home state, but if you leave the car, the firearm must be locked.
Understanding terms and new laws like the Assault Weapon Ban is key. These laws are complex, and details matter for compliance.
