“If you have a gun and want to carry it without being bothered by local law enforcement, you will have to travel a bit outside of metro Chicago. But not too far. Even though Illinois’ new concealed carry law is on the books, the actual state permitting process is not ready to go and won’t be for months. Regardless, the I-Team has identified 14 counties where authorities say you may not be arrested for carrying a gun. With this week’s override action by the General Assembly, Illinois was the 50th state to allow concealed carry.”
