Yep, it's just like Marty says, it's not illegal to own (downstate), and you only have to have the weapon unloaded, not locked away & separate carriers for the gun & ammo. BUT, it's still bullshit, the constitution guarantees my right to own & BEAR arms unconditionally, and those rights shall NOT be infringed upon, period.You CAN own a handgun in Illinois, just not supposed to in Chicago. I own several. Last year a 70+ man shot and killed an intruder in his Chicago home. No arrest was made. The media made him out to be a hero for protecting his family. As far as carrying in Illinois you do have to store ammo seperately.
