1. Arkansas, 2. Mississippi 3. Texas 4. Virginia

I live in adjacent IA, have IA and UT permits, but I cannot get IL even if I take the full 16 hour IL class. Does that make any sense?

Sorry, that was a dumb question.

I'm insulted that IL considers VA laws to be "similar" to IL.

What happened to New Mexico? It used to be on their list...

16 hours is bullshit.

Need the ISRA to start working that bullshit out of there.

I don't enjoy going to IL but wife has family there, hopefully not for long as they're talking about moving here, but I would like the option of carrying on person instead of just in the car.

I'm 5 mins away from IL state line on KY side... Every time I even think I might set foot on IL, I have to unload my trunk.

Hmmm. I'm in MS, and travel to Chiraq at least once a year, often twice or 3 times. Will Chicago have local laws that override any usefulness of this legislation for me?

Not so far. I am a Virginia resident (Virginia got included because McCalluseless was our current governor) and managed to get the 16 hours of "Training" required locally in Virginia. No local ordinance (Including Morton Grove) can supersede the state regulations and permits. (Not s far anyway).
Be prepared to have a anal proctoscope applied when any Chicago police (Thug) inspects you and examines your Non Resident License. Some of them don't really believe that they exist.

My understanding is that your home state CCW permit will probably NOT be recognized by the State of IL. BUT, You can take the IL. 16hr. CCW course as a out of state resident, pay a $300 out of state license fee for 5yrs.and pass the IL. State Police background check, this would get you a IL CCW permit.
Unless this has ALL changed.

I have not heard that. I live just across the river, and I would think local instructors would share that with IA permit holders who spend time in IL. If it's changed Gary Slider has not updated his site, which is usually very accurate.

I checked in with a old friend who is a Firearms instructor for the IL. State Police.
He told me the law changed about 1 year after it went into effect. It used to be that out of State residents could get a CCW in IL. if they paid $300 and took the 16 hr CCW training.
As reported, NOT ANY MORE.

During the first week of Feb 2017 the state of Illinois revised the list of states whose residents they
would issue non-resident permits to. They only listed four states and removed three they did list and added
three different ones that they say meet their criteria. The non-residents from those three states that no longer
met their criteria who had obtained an Illinois Non-Resident permit received a letter stating that their Illinois
Non-Resident permit was no longer valid. Y

The solution is easy, stay out of Illinois. The state doesn't offer much unless you are an illegal, a welfare queen or an otherwise moocher, thug, corrupt politician, liberal, progressive democrat!

Yup. My parents live in IL and we visit once every 5 or 10 years. Otherwise I'd never set foot there.

My range is just across the river in IL. In fact, I'm headed that way in two hours, bringing an AR, 870, and G-43.

I'll escape from occupied territory as soon as I'm done shooting.

Thank you for posting that link.

I asked seven different people in and around tiny town and not a single person knows about this place.

I've only been looking for a place for 5 years

I just avoid IL at all costs.
