A couple of clarifications:

1. You do not have to take the class _in_ Illinois. You just have to take the class from a licensed IL instructor. I took mine in Plano.

2. IL allows any visitor with a license to CC in their home state to conceal carry in their vehicle, and to "transport", i.e., carry unloaded i a locked case.

3. Only four states are currently deemed "substantially similar" to get an IL CCL. IN is not one of them. I hope the guy is no-billed for self defense. The Chicago courts I hear would not like to prosecute and open a can of worms.

Onegun, I got mine in 102 days, good luck.
