Q. How will Illinois State Police (ISP) officers and local law enforcement respond to citizens who are carrying weapons?
A. The ISP will continue to enforce the law in effect. Citizens cannot lawfully carry concealed weapons without a valid Illinois Concealed Carry License. Citizens who carry firearms without a Concealed Carry License issued by the ISP are subject to arrest.

Aside from the numerous examples of rights violations take note of this point.
The Federal Court struck down specific language as UNCONSTITUTONAL. That being the UUW and AUUW statutes. Then, AFTER the federal court sent back to the lower court the direction to strike it, the ILGA passed that exact same language and the governor signed it right back into law.
Nice huh?
Supposedly this is OK because now there is an exception called a permit structure. However, NOBODY can GET a permit! Keep in mind that Illinoisans already have to get a permission slip to own ( exercise a right). Illinois state police have 30 days to produce one, but it regularly takes 100 to 120 days. ISP does this with impunity. And carry permits will be different???
The court has been petitioned to see FOID card holders carry until ISP issues permits nines this to a year from now. Interesting conundrum for the court exists now.
1) The court facilitates the legislatures own “stay” and allows its own authority to be eroded
Or
2) The court does its job and retains its authority, allows ownership FOIDS to facilitate carry now – which defeats ANY need for a carry permit structure beyond ownership permit structure thus undermines the legislatures authority and credibility.
Note please that the governors police force is openly stating that it will arrest you for daring to exercise a federally enumerated, individual, incorporated, fundamental right. Note also that Democrats have COMPLETE poliultical control here.
