Please catch-up with the rest of us: Chicago's gun control laws were overturned more than 7 years ago now. They no longer exist.
Public transportation is a “gun free zone.” It is forbidden for anyone to carry firearms aboard a bus or train even those who have qualified to carry concealed weapons.
There's a reason it's called conceal/carry and many of us who have it ignore the law when it comes to riding public transportation.
If someone sees your weapon on the CTA or Metra, then you're obviously not conceal/carrying properly, I say.
Yes, I ride Metra from the far, far SW Suburbs into Chicago once a week and yes, I conceal/carry while on it.

Manhattan?
Dalton (snark)?
Spent 10 years in Homer Glen so I thought I’d rib ya.
Still got my FOID card in my wallet.
Good points. Many larger calibers are very difficult to “conceal.” But there are pocket firearms that work well. A woman has an advantage if she has a purse.
I would hesitate carrying if there is a direct law against it. However, one might be arrested... but still be alive. Note the second half of this sentence.
All fine, until you have to use it. You then are charged with a gun crime, lose your permit, probably go to jail.
All of this is worth it, provided you save a life, but it will cost you $20,000. to be right.
