[QUOTE="Captain Ahab, post: 37071, member: 10"] In Illinois it is illegal to "Carries or possesses in any vehicle" any sort of weapon (and a flare gun is a weapon) unless it is:[i] (i) are broken down in a non-functioning state; or (ii) are not immediately accessible; or (iii) are unloaded and enclosed in a case, firearm carrying box, shipping box, or other container by a person who has been issued a currently valid Firearm Owner's Identification Card From Chapter 38 §24-1 of the Illinois Crime Code[/i] I interprete this to include a flare gun if it is loaded and not stored in an enclosed container (and should be outside the immediate control of the occupants of the vehicle. (ie - having in a shoe box on teh seat next to you is a no no) Keep the flare gun in the trunk - and unloaded. Why would you ever want a loaded flare gun in your car anyway??????
