Can you carry a pellet gun in Illinois?

Answer 1

You can "transport" a gun, meaning you can have it in the car as long as it isn't loaded or accessible, but you can't carry the gun loaded and accessible like you can in some other states. The exception is the city of Chicago, where you can't have a handgun at all.

Answer 2

Most of the Illinois laws regarding transportation of firearms contain an exception clause stating that the law does not apply to someone who is in his own home or on his own property at the time. Some of them do not: for example, it's a violation of Illinois law to carry a firearm while masked, and this section does not contain the exception clause, meaning if you're in the habit of wearing a Batman costume while cleaning your pistol, you might technically be in violation of the law.

The laws regarding possession generally do NOT contain this exemption, because it's illegal to even own certain types of firearms (examples: machine guns, sawed-off shotguns).

If you're concerned about inadvertently violating the law, you should speak with your local police department or an attorney familiar with Illinois law.

Answer 3

No. The state of Illinois does not issue permits to carry handguns or weapons.
