    IL SP do annual surveys on states to see if their CCW elgibility rules are the same or "substantially similar"as IL. They used to allow 4 states' residents to apply for IL NR permit.

    The IL SP have updated their list. NM, HI and SC dropped. AR, MS, TX added and Virginia retained

    The old list is also attached.

    3? that many?

    Remember this isn't reciprocity. This is the requirement for IL issuing you a non resident permit. IL does not recognize any other state's permit. like MD.

    So either Hawaii didn't answer the survey or they loosened their laws?
    This seems completely arbitrary.

    A lawsuit was filed asking for a PI against the policy.

    denied.

    The thing is the NR licenses in those states that have been removed will now how their licenses revoked. And supposedly there were other states that answered the questions the same way as the allowed states and were not considered similar.

    I've ignored travel in Illinois for years. No skin off my back. I spend $ where I and my firearm are welcome.

    As I've said many times before, we're never going to get any reasonable relief from the courts, as they are judging gun laws based on rational basis (even if they call it intermediate scrutiny). Any relief will only come from Congress, but not as long as we have "conservatives" arguing against federal preemption and carry reciprocity based on "state's rights."

    Well, Rep. Hudson's bill HR 38 utilizes the Commerce Clause. So what state's rights claim can be made?

    I'm not referring to a Constitutional claim. I'm referring to the philosophical arguments advanced by some conservatives that "the federal government shouldn't be getting involved in permits, because it sets the precedent for them to ban them later." I argue that that precedent was set long ago, and that the left will work to do that with or without our assent or "precedent." Might as well get some benefit now.

    AND that 7th circuit opinion link is rational basis opinion all the way. Let's hope when it comes back from appeal that they actually use at least a true intermediate scrutiny.

    I don't recall a single case judged under true intermediate. In every one, the courts entirely deferred to the legislature's determination of "fit" between the regulation and the interest.

    Judge Legg's opinion (now vacated) in Woollard was a true use of intermediate scrutiny. There's not many to be sure, but the CA7 opinion only used the words "reasonable", no mention of intermediate scrutiny.
