Headed towards Chicago

[adamsredlines]

Ok folks, looking to brush up on this and hoping I am correct.
I am headed to Lombard, IL which is a bit due west of Chicago. It is in DuPage County.
The CRAZY laws in Illinois are in Cook County.

If I am reading correctly...I can bring a handgun with me in my car

Does the jury agree or am I missing something?

Just don't exit off the loop in the wrong area. It could get rough no matter what their laws say.

Yeah when we go to downtown Chicago we catch a commuter train outside of Cook county to Union Station so can still travel on the rest of vacation and carry.

Bold below, to me, reads that if I can legally carry a loaded gun in my state (I have a CHL that allows me to do so), then I can travel with a loaded gun while in Illinois...but must leave it in the car at gas stations and such, and properly conceal and unload it while going to our hotel.

I lived in Lombard for a year or so. Just south of Irving park road. Can’t remember the north south street.
