Coming up in August, I'm going to a party on the Indiana/Illinois border in the Chicago land area. It's a party they have every year, and I've gone the past two times. It's a fairly large party that covers 3 days and camping, full of people I do not know.
I've read on here that the Illinois laws are absolutely ridiculous when it comes to people carrying firearms. The party is literally on the state line, but will take place in Illinois (if they lived on the other side of the street, I wouldn't even bother posting my concern, because there wouldn't be a concern). It's a 3 day party that I would rather not be without my firearm. Can someone give me a brief summary of what you can and cannot do in Illinois? It's on private property, can I carry? What about leaving it in my car? Or my tent? I'm guessing that my Indiana LTCH isn't valid in Illinois?
Honestly, I'd rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6, so if I found myself in an unthinkable situation it may not matter.
