This is interesting...

I was reveiwing Illinois law because of the Thread about the 87 year old man here who shot the intruder, and I noticed this:

Under Unlawful Use of Weapons (UUW) in the ​

Criminal Code, persons who have been issued a valid FOID
​

card may transport a firearm anywhere in their vehicle or on their person​

​

​

and now I wonder... "Anywhere on their person" would indicate that I could in fact carry my firearm concealed about my person... ​

​

Provided that I comply with the "unloaded and encased" statutes for transporting a firearm. ​

​

I posted a link to a site a while back that talks about being able to carry a firearm in illinois if you wear it in a belt pouch... this kinda re-enforces that belief...​

It's alway interesting to find these little loopholes but I wouldn't want to be the first one to try this.

These guys found it:

I just ran across that wording and think it re-enforces the position of the organization above.

Supposedly they have tested this and it has held up in court. :idunno:

Id take my chance with the Loophole and a good Lawyer at my side.

Good for them if they can get away with it. People that live in Illinois, NY, Kalifornia, etc. have my profound sympathy.
