The provision of Illinois’ gun and magazine ban beginning Monday is affecting resident and nonresident hunters.
The ban on semi-automatic guns and magazine enacted Jan. 10 says 90 days after, gun owners can no longer be in public places with certain firearms. This is not just affecting what guns concealed carry license holders can carry, or what kinds of magazines they can have with their carry firearm, it is also affecting hunters.
Illinois State Police say on their frequently asked questions website that prohibited firearms are still allowed on private property for hunters.
“Yes, you can hunt under these circumstances as long as you are on your private property or on private property with permission from the land owner and you are adhering to the 520 ILCS 5/ of the Wildlife Code; however, additional regulations will be forthcoming,” the website said.
But, Josh Witkowski with Illinois Federation of Outdoor Resources, said hunters have issues.
