I have to pick up a car at a dealership in Illinois tomorrow. It's about 20 min over the border from Indiana. I am getting picked up in Michigan by my father in law who has an illinois FOID card.
Normally when we travel to their home we avoid crossing Illinois border (they live in a weird part of 'Illiana').
I have also heard there are pass through laws where if you are traveling to a destination, as long ast he firearm doesn't leave the vehicle you are OK.
I was intending to bring my TSA lock box. Locking up before we get to Illinois border, with the firearm unloaded in back of vehicle in locked box. (i will be traveling with a FOID holder at that point). I have to pick up my new car and I will be driving home from that point. Intended to keep it locked up with ammo separate until I got to the border.
I will be driving a car with a temporary plate (paper) in the back window, a potential red flag to troopers.
I am generally not a 'leave it at home' guy, for... reasons. Anyone have a good knowledge of Illinois management. My CPL is fine in Indiana.
