I'm curious as to what I can get away with. Here is some literature I found on the internet. Not sure how accurate it is.
It is unlawful to carry or possess any firearm in any vehicle or concealed on or about the person, except on one`s land or in one`s abode or fixed place of business. It is unlawful to carry or possess any firearm on or about one`s person upon any public street, alley, or other public lands within the corporate limits of a city, village, or incorporated town, except when: 1) an invitee thereon or therein; 2)for the purpose of the display of firearms or the lawful commerce in firearms; or 3)when on one`s land or in one`s abode or fixed place of business.
Exceptions are persons using their firearms on established target ranges; licensed hunters, trappers, or fishermen while engaged in their licensed activity; transportation of firearms that are broken down in a non-functioning state or are not immediately accessible (e.g., in the trunk of a car); and transportation, carrying, or possession of a firearm which is unloaded and enclosed in a case, firearm carrying box, shipping box, or other container, by the possessor of a valid FOID. Under the Wildlife Code, it is unlawful to have or carry any firearm in or on any vehicle or conveyance unless unloaded and enclosed in a case.
Q. What exactly can a person get away with. I have a female friend who has had some suspicious characters soliciting her at odd times during the day. As a precaution she would like to carry her glock-17 with her from her car to her front door (when she gets home late) in case there is someone lying in wait for her while she walks from her garage to her front door. She wants to carry the gun in her car but is not sure how she should go about doing so (within the law). It sounds like carrying the gun unloaded in her gun case meets the exception requirements mentioned above. Does this mean she can have a loaded clip in the same box (loaded clip not in the gun)? Any suggestions? Again, I'm looking for a solution without breaking the law.
