^Agreed, the list of prohibited places is huge... but interestingly enough, it looks like the bill says that "restaurant carry" is OK by specifying the "50% of sales from alcohol" route.

Also, $55 fee to obtain a new license if you change addresses.

Also, $300 for a non-resident permit with this in the verbiage:
The Department shall establish by rule and allow for
non-resident license applications from any state or territory
of the United States with laws related to firearm ownership,
possession, and carrying, that are substantially similar to the
requirements to obtain a license under this Act.

... reduces the the number of states pretty good right off the bat even without the absurd fee.

It really flirts with "shall issue" although technically since there's no requirement for "good an proper cause" (the backbone of "may issue"), it means just about any regular Joe qualifies as long as they've already got a FOID card and haven't done anything really stupid in the past decade.

If they relaxed a few of the prohibited places and were fairly generous with reciprocity (yeah, right) it's not terrible... lotsa "hoops" to jump through, but as was said before, as the state gets used to it a bit, restrictions can be peeled back.
