Why not live in Indiana where you can own as many guns
as you want and commute? You'd most likely end up living
just as far away if you moved to the Peoples' Republik
of Illinois, anyway.

I believe if a gun shop checks your guns in overnight, then they have
to start logging it.  Probally not worth the effort for them or would
be at a prohibitive cost.

Another factor would be that you couldn't purchase ammunition in
Illinois without an FOID (Firearm Owners ID) card.  You need to
display one of these before purchase of ammo or firearm, or even
handling a firearm in a store.

There are few remaining ranges near Chicago.  Cook county has also
been coming down hard on gunshops and ranges.  Many of the existing
ones have fairly high range fees.

Bells, just south of Ohare on Mannheim Rd
Midwest in Lyons near 1st Ave
Two gunshops in DesPlaines, at least one with a range.
Rinks out in Lemont
Pelcher's in Lansing
There used to be an outdoor range in Dundee, I have no information on
it's recent status.

I'd recommend either leaving the guns back in your home state or as
another poster recommended, getting a safe deposit box..preferably
outside of Cook county.  Make sure it is well wrapped and camouflaged
since most of the inner 'burbs have gun phobia.

Good luck!

Y, there's a place in Lyons, IL that sounds like it might be a
possibility:

  Firearm Storage Services
  4025 South Gage
  Lyons, IL 60534
  (773) 772-0005

Worth a call... it'd be about a 10-mile drive, as the crow flies - or,
15 miles, if you don't want to drive through areas where you'll REALLY
miss your handguns.

Make sure you get an Illinois FOID card as soon as you have a valid IL
address; you can download forms and get all the info here:

  http://www.isp.state.il.us/foid/firearms.cfm

Chicago's firearm ordinances can be found here:

  http://www.isp.state.il.us/docs/ordinances/chicago.pdf

Read it carefully, but make note of the fact that you cannot possess
ammunition in Chicago unless you have a registration for a firearm
chambered for the the same round. In other words, make sure you can
store your ammo at the same place you're storing your firearms.

Btw, University of Chicago prohibits possession of any/all firearms on
its property (including dorms, etc.):

   http://www.uchicago.edu/docs/studentmanual/safety-firearms.html

If I were you, I'd consider living in Northwest Indiana and commuting
(I-65 & I-80/94 are HELL at rush hour - aauaauuugghh!), or finding a
place in the nearby suburbs, preferably in DuPage County. You could
then take a Metra train and a bus to school, or drive in.

#I'd rather not sell my firearms if I relocate.

The best arrangement of all may be to locate storage services where
you currently live. Even if you just bought a big safe and installed
it at a friend's or relative's house... might be a better arrangement
than moving them into the People's Republic of Illinois.

Another vote for commuting. Western suburbs are your best bet for clubs and
ranges.

Drive, hell!

You can ride Metra trains from either Indiana or Wisconsin to downtown
Chicago, then take the "EL" to UIC.

Driving in/near downtown Chicago is a PITA, and parking ain't exactly
cheap, either.

I hate to be negative but I would not live there or go to school there if
that were the case. Does the law extend to the surrounding towns also or
just in the city?

Chicago law only applies to Chicago.

But then German racial laws only applied in Germany.  That didn't stop
France from shipping as many Jews as it could to Germany.  A number of
Chicago suburbs, such as Morton Grove, also have explicit handgun bans

DICK Daley is using frivolous lawsuits to try to shut down ALL
gunstores in the general vicinity of Chicago.

Illinois is a bad idea.

Chicago is a loathesome idea.

Moving to Chicago as a gunowner is like a Jew moving TO Germany in
1938.

I think you're showing your age....*grin*

Seriously, I am not familiar with any active outdoor range in or near
Libertyville.  Frankly I'd be surprised if there still was, that area
is BIG $$ now and has been for a while.  Even Chicago's beloved Mr M
Jordan lived there.

If you remember Santa Fe Speedway, it was also also shut down to to
complaints from new residents in new subdivisions who didn't realize
they were moving in next to an active racetrack.  It had only been
there since my father was a child.....

There are a few private club outdoor ranges near Chicago (60 mile
radius).  The only public outdoors that I know of are....

Dundee/Carpentersville but I believe it was shut down a few years ago
by the EPA

Buffalo Rock which is *THE* place that most of the city and 'burb
people go to play with their rifles.  It is under a limited schedule
this summer due to an EPA reclaimation and cleanup.  This is about 100
miles from Chicago.

There was talk of putting a outdoor shooting complex somewhere in Kane
county (about 40 miles west of Chicago) but that would be a few years
away yet, if the massive influx of new residents and subdivisions
doesn't kill that idea off too.

Haven't heard for a while.  None of them seem to be doing all that
well.

I try not to know anything more about Chicago than is necessary for my
(thankfully) infrequent visits there.

My mother occasionally tries to get me to move back there.  I told her
there are enough Nazis here.  I don't need to move where they're in
charge.
