What now? Illinois recognizes Virginia permits to conceal handguns?

I think you're mistaken.
I may very well be mistaken, but I did qualify my entire statement as going from memory! And that was not the point of the statement at all!
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!

To my knowledge Illinois does not recognize any permit from any state, whether or not you're a resident of that state. I'm interested in your source on the Illinois law; if Illinois has recently started any kind of out-of-state permit recognition system, that would be really big news around here.

As to the non-resident disqualification that you speak of: to my knowledge (and per handgunlaw.us), of states that have reciprocity or recognition of out-of-state permits, the only states that currently require a permit holder to be a resident of the issuing state are:
Colorado, Florida, Maine, Michigan, New Hampshire, and South Carolina.

P.S. I understand you were going from memory; I know my memory doesn't serve me well half the time. I'm not trying to frustrate you or personally attack you. I'm just trying to work out the facts and share what I know. Peace.

Hmmm.... Tuck; you now have me scratching my head... I must be getting old now, my memory is apparently really failing me lately (seriously, over the last 2-3 days I've been called on a lot of things that I'm normally on the money on! Many of my friends are telling me that I seriously need some sleep and R&R... I'm not very familiar with either of those!)

Looking back at the reciprocity pdf (http://www.handgunlaw.us/documents/USReciprocity.pdf) the only thing I can think of is that I was looking at Iowa (my parents lived there when I was doing my research, but are now back to IL where they were before...) and that I read/remembered the notes at the bottom backwards, or that I got info overload at the time:banghead::banghead::banghead:
I had looked at WAY too much information at the time....
