More Illinoisans get out of state concealed-carry

METAMORA, Ill. (AP) - Even though Illinois is just one of two states that bans legal gun owners from carrying concealed weapons, gun experts say more residents are taking advantage of getting concealed carry permits from other states.

Those permits are not legal in Illinois, but they are in dozens of other states with reciprocal agreements with Utah and Florida, two popular states for granting those permits.

Overall statistics aren't readily available on how many total Illinois residents have out-of-state concealed carry permits, but experts say it is on the rise.

Illinois State Rifle Association Director Richard Pearson said the trend is "at least six or seven times more popular" than it was just two years ago.
