I have to go to IL for some business and want to clarify a mag capacity law. I will not be carrying, but will have a handgun unloaded and locked with me. As long as I stay out of Chicago, Cook County, Oak Park and Aurora, I am good to go with a 17rd magazine, correct?
Thanks |

You are basically correct. I think there might be a few ban cities not on your list.
There are no statewide mag cap limits, and only a small minority of cities and cook county have any bans. Technically if you have a CCW the ban does not apply to your pistol anyway because we are *supposed* to have statewide preemption on pistols. There are as yet no court cases that specifically state whether that applies to magazines. If you have a MN CCW you can keep it loaded as long as it stays in your car. See the new CCW statute for particulars. |

So, as you described, you can transport basically anywhere in the state...Local magazine bans won't apply to you. |
