I was looking at the Illinois statutes 430 ILCS 65/2 at http://www.ilga.gov/statutes/ilcs/ilcs.asp It looks like in (7) open carry by non-residents not hunting or at a shooting range is prohibited in rural unincorporated areas. (7) lists an exemption to the requirement for a FOID card. It says- non-residents while on a shooting range recognized by the Department of State Police; however, these persons must at all other times and in all other places have their firearms unloaded and enclosed in a case.

I really would like to see a mpa of the unincorporated areas of Illinois specifically the areas surrounding Chicago.

That would be a perfect place for a open carry picnic.
