Illinois does not ban particular guns. ARs, AK variants, FNs, Glocks, whatever, are not banned at the State level. Nor do we have idiotic magazine capacity restrictions of any kind.
CCW is available on a Shall Issue to any legal resident who passes the classes. Although I do think the fees are far too high.
Once it’s issued the list of Prohibited Places is reasonable and there are remarkably few “no guns” signs to be found, even in downtown Chicago.
The problem isn’t our laws here. It’s our people.

I don't call every hotel/motel public lodging place in Lake County "reasonable".
Reality check. Are there any gun dealers in Chicago? No.
One day the taxes and fees for guns and gun permits will be struck down by the court. There are no poll taxes. There is no need for a permit to print a newspaper. There should be no tax on guns or ammunition as this is an unconstitutional infringement on the RKBA. Keep hope alive!
And since I am in the mood to divert thread topic... if we are going to have voter ID laws then there should be no cost to obtain an ID card. It is tantamount to a poll tax. I could be wrong but I think most voter ID laws include some mechanism to enable a vote to be cast without having to pay for an ID.

Tomorrow there is a license to carry class being given at the local cigar shop in Universal City Texas. Think I’ll be attending that.
