| Chartered a plane into midway this morning, open carried on the elevated train to Union station. Concealed on the Metra. Got off at Westmont station and walked up a block where a friend picked me up. We went for lunch at Elliots off Broadway Deli on North Cass Ave, I OCed the entire time there, no issues, couple of double takes. Finished lunch, completed my business and flew back out of Midway in the evening. All and all a decent day Oc-ing in another state.

Did you do this under authority of your god given rights or under privilege granted by some governmental body?

| not quite sure of the method to your madness, but personally I wouldnt continue to press your luck in Illinois. You were lucky, got away with it once, dont be silly and do it again, unless you have alot of money and time and you are looking to give to a lawyer and the state of Illinois.

| That's the way Texans used to exercise their 2A right prior to the CHL law passage in 1995.

| Elgin just popped a guy for UUW for having a loaded .40S&W in his center console. He was from NC and was pulled over for expired registration on his trailer. Now he must defend against a felony.

Texas and Illinois are 2 completely different worlds. Illinois has 2 things Texas dont have---- Cook County and Mayor Daley(Chicago). Believe me, I wish and hope Illinois is able to carry soon, but until then, carrying illegal, especially open carrying is gonna get you nowhere except a ride in a police car,and huge amounts of fees, and lose your rights to own a firearm again.

I'll grant that Texas isn't Illinois, but my point is that myself and a lot of Texans did what we felt we had to do - despite the "laws" - VERY CAREFULLY.
I won't allow any crooked politician to terminate my inherent right to self defense- or supplant my common sense with stupidity. I have traveled through Illinois, and most NE states in the 1990's regularly - including Chicago - and you better believe I was armed.
I love Colorado and Texas inspite of the current legal situation in Texas - which will change soon.
I haven't visited California since 1978, but if I do I will be armed.
