The incredible arrogance of that piece of **** daley and his machine ward heelers. "Whereas" they are all moronic a-holes as shown by their "document." Telling the Congress what it must do to be in lockstep with f-head daley. His old man was a crooked, ignorant farce. He's worse. IL used to be a decent place to live. I was born and raised there. Now it's a **** hole. I'd rather live in the PDR of Taxachusetts anyday.The new Chicago ordinance (https://portal.chicagopolice.org/po...n-registration-20B-with-offender-registry.pdf) reads in part:
"It shall not be a violation of this chapter if a person transporting a firearm or ammunition while engaged in interstate travel is in compliance with 18USCA para 926A. There shall be a rebuttable presumption that any person within the city for more than 24 hours is not engaged in interstate travel, and is subject to the provisions of this chapter."
which, based on the rest of the ordinance, I read to mean it is unlawful for a nonresident to possess a handgun for more than 24 hours in the city. Violations carry penalties of fines of not less than $1000 nor more than $5000, jail not less than 20 days, nor more than 90. Hotels are specifically excluded from the definition of "home" used in the law, so the exception ("except when in the person's home") won't help.
We're making progress for those of us who are residents, but things are no better (actually worse, with more serious penalties) for nonresidents... IANAL, but it looks like there is no legal way for the OP to possess (and of course not to carry) a handgun in the city for more than 1 day.
