Introduced·1/24/25
Introduced Text

Illinois SB1208 allows non-residents with valid concealed carry permits to carry firearms in Illinois if they meet certain conditions.

Illinois SB1208 amends the Firearm Concealed Carry Act to allow non-residents to carry handguns if they are 21 years or older, have a valid permit from a state with similar training requirements, are not Illinois residents, and are legal U.S. residents. Non-residents must follow the same laws and restrictions as Illinois residents. If a non-resident establishes legal residence in Illinois, their permit remains valid for 90 days. The Illinois State Police must recognize permits from states with similar requirements and enter into reciprocal agreements with contiguous states.
