I will admit to being a little worried on the trip back as we drove through IL for about 7 miles due to a detour, and no way to stop and lock my gun unloaded in the trunk.
Actually, now that Illinois has a concealed license they will allow a non-resident with a concealed carry license from another state to carry concealed in their vehicle.
430 ILCS 66/40
(e) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit a non-resident from transporting a concealed firearm within his or her
vehicle in Illinois, if the concealed firearm remains within his or her vehicle and the non-resident:
(1) is not prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm under federal law;
(2) is eligible to carry a firearm in public under the laws of his or her state or territory of residence, as
evidenced by the possession of a concealed carry license or permit issued by his or her state of
residence, if applicable; and
(3) is not in possession of a license under this Act. If the non-resident leaves his or her vehicle
unattended, he or she shall store the firearm within a locked vehicle or locked container within the vehicle in
accordance with subsection (b) of Section 65 of this Act. (Source: P.A. 98-63, eff. 7-9-13.)
Yep, my daughter lives in IL. I carried in my vehicle right through downtown Chicago.
