The point was (for those that missed it):
Illinois does NOT recognize ANY 'non-resident' permit! And I think that there may be a few other states with similar requirements, so, if you plan to travel much, you need a permit from your own state, as well as possibly a few 'non-res' permits...
Either way, thanks for correcting my mis-remembered information... One of the states I was looking at is recognized by Illinois (I thought it was Virginia) but the 'resident permit' requirement makes that a moot point!

Illinois recognizes Virginia permits to conceal handguns?IIRC from my research from a while back... A combination of Utah, Virginia, Florida, and your home state is about as close as you can get to full reciprocity (however, there are still plenty of exceptions...) For example: I was considering getting only a Virginia non-res permit as it will cover me most everywhere I go and doesn't have as many hoops to go through as Texas... Then I discovered that although Illinois recognizes Virginia's permit, it will ONLY recognize a permit from the state you currently are a resident of, therefore a non-res Virginia permit will not cover me when visiting my parents....
I think you're mistaken.
