Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act. Provides that if a concealed carry licensee leaves his or her vehicle unattended, he or she shall store the firearm out of plain view in a safe or other secure container which, when locked, is incapable of being opened without the key, keypad, combination, or other unlocking mechanism and is capable of preventing an unauthorized person from obtaining access to and possession of the weapon contained therein and shall be fire, impact, and tamper resistant. For the purposes of this provision, a glove compartment, glove box, or center console is not considered an appropriate safe or secure storage container
If you are like me and travel into Illinois at times when I have to leave the vehicle store the firearm in the console and lock the truck. If this passes I will need to buy a safe to lock the gun into. It will be a bad thing for Illinois "subjects" because there are so many GFZ's including any business that is posted.
They have another bill that would require 8 hours training to get a FOID card which you must have to own or possess any firearm. It also includes a provision that a firearm purchase would take a permit to purchase that must be obtained from your local LE and then only good for 10 days. At least this one should not effect any of us "Free State" residents.
Both these bills are over the top for any thinking person, certainly unconstitutional and should never even see a vote. OTOH this is Illinois and the dems are all Butthurt over the registration scheme only getting registered a couple % registered. Jim.
