Per the description, "[font=helvetica, arial, sans-serif][background=rgb(240, 232, 203)]How, you ask? It is simple, just be the first one to post a photo of your new Ill CCW license. Blank out the private parts, of course. No personal identification, just leave enough so we know it is legit and yours. No instructors, no photoshop nonsense. OK?"[/background][/font]
<br />
We don't need no stinking pictures!<br />
<br />
Not to mention Wrangler Rich...
<br />
Well, you didn't follow the rules. So I'm going to award the prize to Dirt Pyle - a whole dozen of empty 9 mm brass.
<br />
Amusingly (for some values thereof) the site would let me continue as a Wisconsin resident if i were applying for Illinois Concealed Carry License Instructor Certification. It doesn't appear that the resident of any state (or American Samoa, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, U.S. Minor Outlying Islands, and the Virgin Islands) is blocked from applying to be an Illinois Concealed Carry Instructor. I'll leave it to DD & SK to discuss if the intent is to screw Illinois-resident instructors by allowing out-of-state instructors to teach classes, or to get more money by collecting instructor license fees without allowing any more non-residents to actually obtain permits, or if it's just a programming glitch in the web site.<br />

Naw... It would just give him a big head.
<br />
Probably wise to give them a call. They are very lax at letting folks know there is a problem holding up their license.
<br />
Wisconsin applicants are still blocked.<br />

Good to hear! I haven't heard of any of our folks having any problems.<br />
<br />
Carried in Wisconsin for the first time yesterday. As usual, it was a non-event. [Snidely inserts sarcastic comment here]
<br />
Thanks DD for helping me be able to do that.
<br />
My pleasure!<br />
<br />
Like your American Express card - NEVER LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!
<br />
Re-elect Governor Quinn! (In another 4 years, at least one of the Illinois prisons should have a vacancy...)<br />

I think you are saying both.<br />
<br />
Required by law implies it is a crime with a specific charge<br />
<br />
Without a specific legal charge is is a MAJOR HASSLE and a TERRIBLE IDEA but you would not be convicted of anything in the long run. <br />
<br />
If you are caught driving without your driver's licence you can get a ticket (and possibly taken to jail) but all you have to do is go to court to prove you have one and the charges will be dismissed. It is also MAJOR HASSLE and a TERRIBLE IDEA but you will not be convicted of a specific crime. <br />
<br />
Believe me I don't plan on carrying without the card but I want to know what the law says.
<br />
There is likely some "coverall" charge, like disturbing the peace or something they would try to pin on you.
<br />
I'd rather not be reaching in the area of my pistol if a LEO wants to see my license. My move may be mistaken for an intention to draw and could lead to problems.<br />
<br />
I have left home without my wallet but it is rare for me to leave without my iPhone. So I got a phone case that has slots for licenses, etc. Might not work for everyone.
<br />
By the way the actual card says it must be carried but does not say what the charge will be for not carrying it.
