Correct. As a couple people have mentioned you can have your handgun in Illinois. It must stay in your car. You can also take a gun into your hotel room provided it is properly transported between the vehicle and room. So an unloaded handgun can be moved into the hotel if unloaded and in a case.
I travel IL quite often for work. Even been know to take a firearm with me. In a nutshell Gun unloaded in a closed case, magazine can be loaded but separate. IL does not specify what constitutes a case. So a price of luggage or some type of bag made to conceal or camouflage a firearm is OK.
If a person travels IL quite a bit and operates outside our safe State, some thought needs to be given as to how to transport, hide, secure firearms.
