I've seen some ridiculous stuff when it comes to LEO's and firearms in the vehicle. The problem isn't really the state so much as the simple fact that 6 different cops have 6 different ideas about what's right and what's wrong. I always worry when going through Chicago but the problem certainly isn't unique to the people's republic of Illinois....(they did finally take down the billboard that warned you if you bring a gun to Chicago you go to jail, period)
