No. Out-of-state residents who want to carry a concealed firearm on his/her person must obtain an Illinois Concealed Carry License to lawfully carry a concealed firearm in Illinois. In order for out-of-state residents to be eligible for an Illinois license, their state’s concealed carry license laws must be substantially similar to those of Illinois. The Illinois State Police will establish rules to identify the elements necessary to meet the substantially similar requirement.
However, out of state residents are granted a limited exception to lawfully carry a concealed firearm within a vehicle if they are eligible to carry a firearm in public under the laws of his or her state or territory of residence and are not prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm under federal law. This rule becomes effective immediately.
If the non-resident leaves leaves his/her vehicle unattended, he or she shall store the firearm within a locked vehicle or locked container within the vehicle in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 65 of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.
So I can carry a loaded, concealed weapon in my car in Illinois, because I have my Florida CCW. What if I need to transfer why weapon to my say hotel room? Can I use a carry case with the weapon unloaded? Or is that even allowed for out of state residents?
Confusing, but hell I can hang with that law as it is for now. Looks like I will have to just pay the $300.00 for my Illinois out of state carry permit.
