Why is Indiana Accepting Illinois Concealed Licenses???

[The Keymaster]

17 states are accepting Illinois CCW licenses. Indiana is among them. Personally I think this sucks. What incentive does Illinois have to grant reciprocity to states that give it away?

 

[The Keymaster]

Just saw Kirk's post in another thread. Still don't like it.

I think it is fine. We have a reputation of providing reciprocity to all licenses and permits. Why would we stop now? Does it offend you that we honor Ohio's but they don't honor ours?

 

[minuteman32]

I just wish every state took IN's lead & recognized every other states licenses (@ least that!). Would be even better if we could just carry whatever gun we wanted, w/ whatever accessories we want & whatever ammo we wanted & carry anywhere that we want )bars, churches, schools, gov't buildings, etc. Just my thinking though.

It doesn't offend me, per se, but I think reciprocity should be just that. Reciprocal.

Because we are not pricks. Somebody has to be the adult in the room.

I wish every state, including Indiana took Vermont and Arizonas lead and did away with licensing all together

I agree.

I don't think there's a way for Indiana to put any real pressure on Illinois. All we would do is prevent Illinois residents from carrying here, which I don't see as a good thing.

Because it's the right thing to do for the individuals who have the CCW.

1. It is the law. Indiana Code 35-47-2-21(b).

2. The only "pressure" that can be applied to Illinois is via the federal government. It is a state in a state of insurrection, and the insurrectionists are its government.

3. The government of Illinois cares not one damn bit about its citizens. Observe Chicago. The hells of Englewood or the like. As long as they vote for The Combine the government has absolutely no incentive to change.

The productive class is fleeing in droves. Did you listen to any of the election night coverage on Chicago radio? It was not about the election, it was about a particular caller's plan to leave Illinois.

The pension system will bankrupt the state. In order to prolong its cancerous death, Illinois will be forced to confiscate retirement plans (a vast pool of money), causing more of the productive class to flee.

Illinois has only changed by action of the federal government. It will only change more via the federal government.

^This.
CCW was only passed in Illinois because of the 7th Circuit decision. It would probably only ever be made "better" by more federal action. I don't think the political leaders in Illinois have any interest in making sure their citizens (subjects) can carry in any other states.

 

[Pinkzebraglockgirl]

I agree with you 100%. Gun free zones don't work! I wish every state had to accept all permits and there were no gun free zones!

 

[sig-guy]

IN feels sorry for them, since it took so long to pass CCW in IL?

 

[Paul30]

Indiana recognizes a persons right to self defense no matter where they are from in the U.S. It also recognizes the more good guys with guns the safer everyone is. I think it is great that Indiana recognizes all carry permits from other states. Imagine how nice it would be if all states did it. Lead, follow or get out of the way, looks like Indiana is leading.

I am more than happy to have Illinoisers<sp?>, that legally carry a firearm, come into our state for work, recreation, or just visiting. The more gun carriers here, the nicer it is. Makes our state nicer and leave them more unprotected.

Illinois is and will continue to be a disaster. This was brought on by decades of control by the "combine", a Dem led consortium of crooked liberal pols supported by the public unions whose votes are bought with generous benefits and retirement. My guess is that it will never change there. I'm very happy to have finally bailed out three years ago by moving over here.

Even on Chicago radio today, Emanuel is calling for more background checks and his stooge police chief basically wants total disarmament. The fools continue to blame crime on firearms.

Exactly! Those in Indiana who would deny the rights of Illinois residents who wish to carry are no different than the Illinois legislators who have done that for so long. Some of you guys are having problems identifying the enemy!
