Shotgun hunters may find scrutiny in Illinois with new gun law now in effect
Published: , in Outdoor News
The Protect Illinois Communities Act – the result of House Bill 5471, which became Public Act 102-1116 back on Jan. 10, went into effect April 10. In general it means gun owners can no longer be in public places with certain firearms. Along with high-capacity rifles and sizes of magazines, it also outlaws, for example, the use of some shotguns that are commonly used for snow goose hunting on public lands in the state. How hunters will be affected and how law enforcement officers will handle the Act have been unclear.
