Default Trip Report-Chicago

Have not traveled via commercial aircrft recently but did go to Chicago last week.

Flew United from BWI. No worries at BWI check in. Completed form; stuck it in my suitcase. Bag then went onto conveyor at check in desk. PreCheck got me through TSA in mere minutes. Bag was at O'Hare baggage claim just a few minutes after I got there. No issues. Lovely four days. Stayed at the Drake; Cubbies game on Friday afternoon then to Northwestern University for B1G women's lacrosse championship semifinals. Terps win over Rutgers...easily.

Dinner at Joe's Stone Crab...big steak for me and then a leisurely walk back to the Drake. Sightseeing and beer drinking and Derby watching Saturday. A bit of shopping on the Magnificent Mile, too. All big fun.

Long walk Sunday a.m. then back to NU for the championship game. Terps beatdown NU. All is well in the world!

Monday to ORD for noon flight. Took LYFT for the 4th time over the weekend. Very easy and quick...waaaaay cheaper than cabs, too.

At ORD check in was different. Agent insisted I check in at the kioisk but then handed me the form to complete. Into the bag it went BUT she then walked with me to the TSA baggage checkpoint about a hundred yards away. VERY PROFESSIONAL AND FRIENDLY personnel there did the customary 'sniff' and wipe and scan, rolled the combo locks at my request, and then they THANKED ME for carrying in their city. PreCheck again very quick and easy flight home. Bag delivery very quick again.

As usual, suitcase was hardside Samsonite with TSA combo locks. Hard Doskocil case for my 642 inside . It was secured with TSA padlock. ZERO ISSUES.

Be safe.

I didn't think Illinois had reciprocity agreements with any state. How were you able to legally carry?

It's also possible for non-residents to get an Illinois license. I doubt that it would be valid at the Cubs game or at NU.

Are we missing something in your post...in particular, given you have highlighted some of it?

Be safe.

Perhaps that was some of his expert commentary, he is, after all, an 'Expert Commentator'.


Sounds like you had a great trip.

Chicago and Illinois are not on my map of America. My map is the
Texas CHL map and the states that honor my permit.

The Big D, you went to Chicago and all you took was your 642? Shame on you, Glock 19 (or any other hi-cap) at the least.

That means we're good traveling with LEOSA in Illinois, subject to a couple restrictions that instate permit holders have, but not all of them . . .
