Benson v. City of Chicago
Not sure if this will go anywhere, or what would happen if they won. Not sure the impact of Heller vs DC. But all you can do is keep trying until the state of Chicago recognizes the constitution.
NRA-ILA :: Chicago: Challenge to Ban on Guns Outside the Home Goes Forward Friday, January 20, 2012 On January 19, a federal judge in Chicago allowed NRA-supported plaintiffs to move ahead with a challenge to that city’s laws that ban anyone from possessing or carrying a handgun except in his or her home, and that ban possession or carriage of a long gun anywhere outside his or her home or place of business. The case, Benson v. City of Chicago, challenges several of the anti-Second Amendment restrictions that were enacted days after the city’s handgun ban was struck down by the U.S. Supreme Court. Other issues contested in the case include the city’s ban on nearly all firearm transfers and on the operation of gun stores, as well as its law that allows each Chicago license holder to keep only one “assembled and operable” firearm within the home. On the carry issue, the city had argued that this count of the complaint should be dismissed, claiming that there was no way the courts could provide relief because the same conduct was prohibited statewide by Illinois law anyway. In the ruling, Judge Edmond E. Chang of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois pointed out that Chicago’s ordinance actually was more strict than state law: Illinois does allow people to possess and carry guns in their places of business, or in another person’s home. Briefs on the remaining issues in the case will be filed between now and April.

You guys are always welcome.
Just remember - You must stop and secure your gun BEFORE you cross the state line. It must not be loaded, and should be in a case. I believe the gun and ammo can be in the same case, but it can not be loaded in the gun. Also, our understanding is that the unloaded gun and ammo can stored in a center console, legally, but I wouldn't want to argue that point with a State Trooper.

Glad to see you two are OK.
I get a little worried now that WI has concealed carry, it's probably pure chaos in the streets now. Seen any good gunfights yet?
