I'm licensed for conceal/carry here in Illinois and have to say, I'm not sure I'm going to do it. I know the Illinois State Police have been going around the state training local police departments how to interact with conceal/carry folks -- but I've heard too many stories and too many comments from some in the law enforcement community here that literally cannot wait for one of us with conceal/carry permits to become the first "test case."

IMO, they're gunning for us.

I completely understand this.
In my opinion...

Keep on doing what you’re doing.
If something happens, obey the LEO no matter what.
RETAIN your RIGHT to keep silent!
Get involved with the Armed Citizen Legal Defense Network (http://www.armedcitizensnetwork.org/)
And hope it goes to trial by jury.

While all of the bureaucratic bullshit goes forward, stick to your guns, and stick to the law.

BTW, Congrats on getting your CCW in Illinois.
