NE Honors IL. . . Guam Shall Issue. . . IL Vehicle Carry

[Gary Slider]

Nebraska has added Illinois to the list of states it honors. Nebraska just looks at a states law and if they meet their criteria they will honor them. There are a few more states that should add Illinois in the coming months as a state they honor as they do it the same was as Nebraska.

Guam is now Shall Issue. Guam requires a Firearms Identification Card and the Carry Permit will be and endorsement on the persons FID Card. It will be valid for 3 years. The same length of time as a FID Card. Though the Application wording (Same form as when they were May Issue. That could change.) seems like Guam is May Issue they are Shall Issue and Self Defense is a valid reason for a permit. You can see the Application here

There seems to be some confusion out there about Illinois Car Carry by non residents with a valid permit. I highly recommend if you are going to travel or stop in Illinois you read the Illinois Page at www.handgunlaw.us thoroughly to understand what you can and can’t do while traveling through Illinois with your loaded Self Defense firearm in your vehicle.

Lots of changes coming July 1 and in the weeks after in a hand full of states. Many states use July 1 as the effective date of legislation unless they put an effective date in the bill. Georgians so called “Guns Everywhere” is an example of laws becoming effective July 1. Many of those changes will not show up on www.handgunlaw.us until the effective date of the law as it changes existing law.
On a side note I am in the middle of a major Addition/Remodeling job for my son. I usually answer all emails within a few hours. It may take 18 to 24 hours to receive a reply from Handgunlaw.us for the next few months.

I would point out that the preemption clause cited by this site only applies to licensees.

There is a more general clause.

I wrote several longish posts about the various preemption clauses. They are way too long to copy here.

This one only applies to licensees.

This one is more general.

This one purports to ban assault weapons bans, but actually appears to do nothing of the sort, given how easy it would be to get past the poor language.

I also wrote a longish post about non-resident car carry.

Florida; Gov Scott, Orlando PD(Orlando Florida)....

I heard that Gov Rick Scott(FL) signed nearly 100 new bills into law today.
A few of those will be the new 2A/pro gun changes to the 790/FS493.
I'm sure the Florida updates will come up soon. FWIW; the Florida Div of Licensing newsletter goes out 07/01/2014 to document any formal changes or statues for W/CC license holders or G/armed security.

BTW: the city of Orlando Florida & the Orlando PD(which has jurisdiction over OIA/McCoy airport) now has a new SOP re: handguns/loaded guns in baggage. Per Chief John Mena, no W/concealed license holders will be arrested for leaving a gun in a carry on bag or if they forget luggage.
Now, OPD will retain the weapon, tag it, & issue a notice for the traveller to appear in court later. No one will be arrested for a honest mistake or have a flight delayed because they have a firearm(with a W/concealed license).
The TSA & OPD have a formal agreement about it.
