I would  say NO. No high cap mags, certain features on the rifle, etc, but read for yourself. Here is the law:

Ordinance for Cook County

Cook County ordinance says no, but there may be home rule regulations that allow the mini 14. Many municipalities have home rule that will supercede county law.

I spoke to my Jewish friend who lives in Skokie.  The Jewish community there has gotten smaller and those who do still live there are quite liberal-leaning.  This does not trend well for a home-rule law being pro-gun.  Besides, if there is a home-rule law, its almost impossible to get official notice.

Not all that hard. Take a look.

I stand corrected. However, searches with keywords like gun, rifle, assault rifle, AR15, and AR-15 did not turn up any home rules superceding the County Law.  Maybe a better keyword search might work?
