Looks like you would be right.....
Summary of Illinois Gun Laws
Illinois is a shall-issue state, meaning that Illinois State Police must issue a concealed carry license if the applicant meets certain qualifications. However, Illinois differs from other states in that it still gives law enforcement the right to object to a concealed carry license being issued if they think the applicant is a danger to public safety or himself/herself. If the police do object, then the case is heard by the Concealed Carry Licensing Review Board, who will make the final decision as to whether or not a license is issued. The applicant is notified by mail of the Board’s decision. There is an appeal process.
Open carry of a handgun on your person or in a vehicle is illegal.
Illinois law requires residents to have a Firearm Owners Identification Card (FOID) to possess a firearm or ammunition. An Illinois Concealed Carry License (CCL) is required to concealed carry a firearm in Illinois. Applicants must be 21 or older. The license permits the licensee to carry a concealed loaded or unloaded handgun on his or her person or within a vehicle. FOID card holders (without a CCL) can legally carry unloaded firearms that are enclosed in a case. Non-resident licenses are only available for residents of Arkansas, Idaho, Mississippi, Nevada, Texas and Virginia. A 16-hour firearms training course conducted by a state-approved instructor is required for all new concealed carry license applications. In terms of reciprocity, Illinois does not honor CCW licenses from any other state.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, FOID card holders & CCL licensees who submit their renewal application will remain valid during the duration of the state’s disaster proclamation and for a period of 12 months following the termination of the disaster, even if their renewal application is/was not submitted prior to expiration. In addition, CCL licensees will not be required to immediately submit proof of three-hour training with their CCL renewal application but will need to submit proof of their training within 12 months following the termination of the state’s disaster proclamation in order to maintain the validity of their CCL license.
Illinois is a Castle Doctrine state. You are under no legal duty to retreat if threatened, and using deadly force is justified. Furthermore, the law prevents claims being filed against any person defending his or her house.
“What will happen in states and localities where people are required to wear a mask yet the concealed carry permit requires one not to wear a mask? Will liberal officials use this to either prohibit concealed array or take away one’s permit?”
The state attorney general in South Carolina has already issued his opinion on this question: In brief, it’s okay to legally conceal carry while wearing a kungflu mask. The South Carolina constitution trumps emergency declarations. And the SC governor, although sometimes a bungling nitwit, supports that interpretation, as do the elected county sheriffs.
So, liberal morons running the state’s leftist enclaves have been put on notice not to try any stupid cr*p.
They are empty now!
“If not mistaken, Il is a shall issue state, no? Delays due to heavy demand, but still shall issue.”
Yes, that is true for CCW: IL is a Shall Issue state.
The Rural King in Plano, IL is wiped out of guns and ammo. They were even out of targets! If you go on the Rural King website every gun is marked “sold out” You cannot order ammo on line and pick up in store - they don’t have the inventory.
Just try and find a short barrel pump shotgun for home defense, they are unobtanium ‘Out Of Stock’ everywhere except for a few used if you search and are lucky.
We sold another 200+ guns today.
The line never ends.
Shelves are empty now.
We have only niche caliber ammo left.
Where are you?
