    OK, went to a USCCA class last week & was told Indiana no longer issues 5 year LTCH. Don't know when or why the changeover happened.

    I haven't looked up Illinois law for a bit, does theirs still have the wording that you need a license "from your state" to be able to CC in your vehicle?
    Illinois CCW veries from county to county. In other words I would not feel safe carrying in Illinois. Best to keep it unloaded (for me) in the trunk with the magazine out. Out of reach.

    Illinois sucks.

    It's perfectly legal as long as you stay in your vehicle and are licensed in your state.

    I get that and appreciate that website but do all those with power know their own law? I can see it now, get pulled over and cop comes over and starts to snoop and asks you to step out. “Oh, wait officer, I need to take my gun off and put it away before I do that!” Or you step out thinking all is good and you realize you have your gun on you and try to explain to the officer that situation.

    I understand the law but I do not want to try and convince a tired, close to the end of shift officer that I know the law. NOT ALL LEO’s are the same but we are talking about Illnois. ( I have utmost respect for anyone who is a cop, especially now days.)

    Keep a printout of that subsection in your vehicle. Don't do your usual 9-14 over in Illinois... keep the cruise locked at 4 over and you'll be fine...

    If some cop wants to give you a bad day, I'm pretty sure they're not going to care about some piece of paper you've printed out.
    Not a Printout but a FREE pamphlet at most of the Better Illinois gun retailers.
    Your “attitude“ is prolly 99% of how the interaction with LEO is gonna go…..NO MATTER WHAT STATE

    Got my lifetime a while back..just about the time Indiana went constitutional carry (figures), but I like having a LTCH if, and when I travel to states with reciprocity (it took me 3 tries to spell that right) and I hope less informed LEO's might be less inclined to harass me, if I were pulled over, and carrying..
    If I become a resident of a different state do you know if my Indiana resident license becomes void?
