What would be an exception for a Home Rule entity?
Well in Illinois, where ALL politics is corrupt to the core, Home Rule generally only applies when the Illinois Legislature has specifically allowed it in relation to a specific law. For instance the City of Chicago and the County Of Cook were specifically allowed to pass assault weapons bans but NOT allowed to forbid Concealed Carry.
They were permitted to add additional classes in order to make it more difficult and expensive for residents of Chicago to obtain their CCL. The special City class requirement adds another $100 or so to the cost.
However, all State of Illinois CCL are honored in the City no matter where in IL you reside.
Messed up, I know.
