Given that Chicago has a no handgun ordinance and that Chicago residents are prohibited from possessing handguns, would a resident run into trouble trying to fly out of O'Hare airport with a declared handgun in his /her luggage? I'm assuming all airline regs are followed. Could the airline turn a Chicago resident in or even worse would they be required to? Haven't seen this discussed before.
