Neighbor is active duty non-resident.
He wanted to know if he can get an IL CCW.
He is not from one of the four non-resident approved states.

Anyone know the answer to this? Is this an ISP call?

Jazzemt or any STL area trainers- Do you have a website or contact info I can pass along?

Thanks-

Reciprocity applies to a CCW license issued by another state.  If your friend is considered an Illinois resident and has a valid FOID, he could go through the same process as someone who has lived in Illinois all their life.

Prerequisites for a non-resident permit are

•I am at least 21 years old.
•I have not been convicted of any Felony.
•I have not been adjudicated as a mental defective by a court of law.
•I have not been involuntarily committed to a facility for the purpose of mental health treatment.
•I have not been admitted as a voluntary patient in a facility for the purpose of mental health treatment within the past 5 years.
•I have not been addicted to narcotics.
•I am not intellectually disabled or developmentally disabled.
•I am not subject to any active Order of Protection.
•I have not within the past 5 years been convicted of battery, assault, aggravated assault, violation of an order of protection, or a substantially similar offense in which a firearm was used or possessed.

Short answer is NO.  Active duty folks stationed here can have a FOID and, by Fed. Law, are entitled to same perks as residents however, ISP has dug their heals in stating that they must have an IL drivers license.  That would require them change their residency.
Yes, we have put together a lawsuit addressing this very issue.
We are also trying to get it fixed in the trailer bill in Springfield.
We don't like to see our military folks getting jerked around!!!!
We'll just have to wait and see what the fix is.

Thank you all very much for the knowledge!

Yep, I've been screwed since moving here.  Can't carry on base and can't carry when I go anywhere else.  I'm so glad I have my other 2 CCWs that are worthless here, only good to me when I go to St Louis.
