Tinner, its not that restrictive. Being near a school, walking by a school, etc is permited by a licensed concealed carrier; just don't tread onto the school property. I've taken the class, read and have a copy of the law and IL State police interpretations, and had the chance to question and answer with the IL State Police and a City of Chicago Police Officer on these issues. Parking lots are safe zones for carriers having to do business in restricted areas except in a few isolated instances. While the new IL law is more restrictive than some states, its a start....and its not the worse either. Lets give it a chance and move for better days. Rumors will not help our cause.
