There is a case before the IL Supreme Court right now that ought to settle it. Its more about whether a center console is a case for the purposes of the UUW act, but the decision may well discuss the fact that the gun being unloaded meant it would not be UUW if it is in a case as defined by the UUW act.

It will be nice to have a SC case on point along with the two appeals court rulings that have supported fanny pack carry.

But, as ISP mentioned, it is best not to be a test case. In some areas they will lock you up for the brownie points.
