I am 99% off the top of my head that there is currently a trailer bill in the general assembly which will slap Chicago and Cook in the face. Having said that, if the bill doesn't get passed it'll be tested in court. I am urging my students to comply with Chicago law until we see how that works out, knowing it'll take a few years sucks but it is what it is. Some poor soul will find out for us.


We still need to work on alot in this state. The showing at IGOLD yesterday was pretty short. People seem to think we won because we now have concealed carry. We have a bad bill that needs to be fixed. We have alot of anti gun bills in the general assembly currently, including registration. We're not done by a long shot. I think we need to slap alot of illinois gun owners back into reality that we won a major victory but the war for our rights is far from over.

CGS, I was under the impression the AWB in Crook and Chiraq was dumped with the adoption of concealed carry and preemtion. There was a big push by local dems to convince towns to enact an AWB as the carry law only gave them a short time to add one or they wouldn't be able to, ever. Only a few towns added one. Or was there a double deal special for Crook and Chi? I can't find anything on it of course.....

Just to be clear, are there now any pistol magazine restrictions in Illinois? Specifically, I need to know about Skokie, IL.

If you are an IL CCW holder and are carrying then no. If you are not an IL CCW holder then all magazine & weapons restrictions apply.

Thanks for your input. I need to be a little clearer. I need to know if it's legal for someone in IL to purchase a 30rd pistol magazine. Is it legal to purchase one without a CCW or is a CCW required?

In Illinois yes anyone can purchase a 30rd pistol mag, BUT individual communities and counties have limits which make it super confusing. Skokie is in Cook County and they have a mag capacity limit of 10 rds so I would say that it is against the law to buy/sell a 30 pistol mag in Skokie. But with an IL CCW an individual who lives in Skokie can purchase one else where and legally possess it in Cook County. Does this help at all?

I work in Cook County and they are totally jacked up. With my CCW I can carry my Glock 19 with 15rd mags or 30rd mags for that matter, but with out my CCW if I have that same pistol and mag unloaded and locked in a lock box I would be in possession of an illegal assault weapon and illegal hi-capacity magazines.

Now ask them about a FOID card.

I sent him an email last night basically stating that I wouldn't be able to send him the magazine unless he could positively show that it would be legal for him to own. He responded by sending me his dealers FFL to send it to and also said that he understood my concern. That's good with me. The dealer can handle the legalities.
