Traveling from Florida to Nebraska

[mastercapt]

We have a wedding to attend this summer in Nebraska.
To drive there, we must go thru the peoples republic of Illinois.
So, my Fl permit is good in all the other states except Il. If I put my EDC in a case, unloaded, and lock it in the trunk or rear compartment of the SUV, and bring it back out after transiting IL, am I legal?
I am trying to determine if they have a peacible journey statute.
We DO NOT intend to stop in that state.

The other alternative is to fly, but I imaging that would be a real P.I.T.A. to do...

Flying or driving is not a big deal at all. If you fly check with your airline on checking firearms. If you drive, unload and secure the weapon.

Well at least when you get here to Nebraska we are a fairly gun friendly state.

how far out of the way would it be to not travel in IL??

I definitely think I would plan a route to "avoid" Illinois...I feel confident you can find a more "gun friendly" route to follow. JMO

You better take another look at your Atlas you don't need to go anywhere near Ill.

Yep, I just ran a search through Google maps and it suggested two routes that go nowhere near Illinois.

When passing through MO just keep the weapon loaded and concealed on or near you.................................... That's why I like MO!!!

Nope, I do it all the time, even across the US/Canadian border.

A quick will find lots of threads on the topic.

I live in Alabama and my dad lives in Omaha. Go through Memphis and up to KC. Going up through Illinois takes forever and is BORING when driving.

Flying into ANY Chicago airport is a bad idea! Eventhough we have the Supreme Court ruling that Chicago's handgun ban is unconstitutional they are VERY strict on hand guns in Chicago! I tell you this because we lived in Naperville (suburb of Chicago) for 2 years and I would not want to be anywhere near the gun unfriendly land of Chicago or Cook county! Driving is best, the folks in southern IL are much better and driving with your gun under lock and the magazine and bullets seperated is the best idea when going through the Peoples Republic of IL!

I was going by the AAA route.
I'll look into other routes
Thanks, Guys.
