Hey all,
Can an Illinois CCW holder carry legally in the car if the loaded gun is in the glove box, center console or similar (an area in the car with a lid/door or the ability to completely close)?

Has anybody had any actual experience with this with regards to discussing with police or being stopped and informing the police that the guns in in the concealed area?

Thx

Yes, you can carry loaded in those areas with CC in IL.
However, we have heard of a couple of instances where a state police officer erroneously chastised a CC person for doing just that.
We have sent our concern up the chain of command at ISP to see to it that the officers are better edified on the subject.

Just what I was afraid of and exactly the info I was looking for.


Thanks much!
