Can you educate me on Illinois (not Chicago) gun and magazine restrictions, please?
Or point me to a web site

Chicago and several other cities up north have many gun laws that the rest of us don't. We cannot own any NFA firearms except AOWs downstate. We do not have magazine restrictions. We can own AR 15 s with 30 round magazines.
We do not  concealed carry yet. We have laws under the conservation code which are more restrictive than the Illinois Compiled Statues.
Most of the criminal gun stuff is under 720 ILCS 5/24 deadly weapons.

If you have specific questions, just email me.

To further complicate compliance, Cook county (includes Chicago and many suburbs) has a AWB.
However, towns with home rule status preempt county laws (ie, Tinley Park, a SW suburb permits AR15s and other
guns forbidden at the county level).
