My 21 year old daughter will be moving to Chicago for her first real job later this year. Joy (sarcasm). She is not yet a resident of Illinois. With the state of the world,, I told her she needs to have a handgun in a quick access safe in her new residence. I raised her around shooting and guns, so she is comfortable. It’s relatively easy to buy a handgun in our current state so she can buy one here before she moves.
Once she is in Illinois, things change. Apparently. she needs a Firearms Ownership Identification (FOID) card to possess any firearm in the state. It’s a pain, but I can live with it. However, I came across this site that said the following: “Chicago requires the registration of firearms. They must be registered with the Chicago Police and the Daley Center. The registration ticket must be carried with the firearm, and is valid for 1 year.” https://www.gunlaws101.com/state/overview/illinois I have not seen this information anywhere else except the site gunlaws101.com
Question1: Does anyone know if this information is accurate? Does the city of Chicago require a legally owned firearm that a person possesses to be registered with the City? I am dead set against registration, and I am trying to think through some alternatives.
Question2: Concealed Carry. I am not expecting her to carry, but a CCW makes life much easier when transporting. When she becomes a resident, can she realistically obtain CCW permit or will the city/state simply make it impossible to realistically obtain one?
