Bill Would Allow Concealed Carry in Public Parks and Athletic Facilities
A few years ago, the Illinois legislature adopted P.A. 98-63 authorizing concealed carry in Illinois. The Act contained a number of restrictions and prohibitions on carrying weapons in certain buildings and on certain property, including parks and forest preserve land. A recent bill (SB 3332) would remove these restrictions from the law, allowing individuals to carry guns on the following properties:
- public parks under the control of a municipality or park district
- athletic areas under the control of a municipality or park district
- athletic facilities under the control of a municipality or park district
- property under the control of the Cook County Forest Preserve District
It's not clear that this bill will go anywhere this session, but it's one worth keeping track of.
