Like lassig said, be careful about the loaded handgun in a vehicle. For all practical purposes, Illinois does not have reprocity with any state in regards to Concealed Carry, even though they were forced pass a Concealed Carry regulation. One thing that happened when they did that is make it legal for non-illinois residents that have a CC permit to legally have a loaded handgun (not sure about long gun) in their vehicle AS LONG AS THEY ARE IN IT. Once a person exits their vehicle, the gun has to stay in the vehicle, be unloaded and either the gun or ammo in a locked case. The other good thing that came about them being forced to issue CC permits is the wording of the law. If a valid CC holder is found innocent in a justifiable shooting, they cannot be sued in civil court.
Non-residents are not allowed to apply for an Illinois CC permit. I believe the only exception to that is CC holders from Hawaii.
