While I over simplified the statement, the Interstate is normally considered the direct route between states for transportation. Ask any trucker and they will tell you the rules are different on an And I know all about truckers rules. I was one of the first 2 Troopers in IL in 1983 to be certified to enforce the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Rules. In IL only the ISP is authorized to enforce FMCS laws. To be certified to enforce the FMCS is an additional Interstate vs any other road. The states enforce the rules the Feds establish on the Interstate but the Feds sent the rules.

No you didn't 'over simplified'. You gave incorrect information. To be certified in FMCS enforcement requires specialized 6 weeks of training and testing. I also taught the law, was recognized by the feds and state courts as an expert in FMCS law. Just for your edification, FMCS laws once adopted by the state are enforceable anywhere in the state on any roadway, not just the interstate. The feds don't enforce anything on any interstate. There are no feds out patrolling traffic enforcement just on interstates. Doesn't happen in IL or IN or any other state.
What you wrote is still incorrect. The feds do NOT set the rules on the interstates. Does not happen that way. Don't know where you got your information but it is totally incorrect. If you knew anything about the law and thought about what you wrote then you would realize your assertion makes absolutely no sense.
And none of that has anything to do with transporting a firearm. You're so far off base that you try covering your stuff with trucker info which you didn't get that right either.

The two Flyers from IL I posted are both still posted on the IL DNR and IL State police websites. Look at the link when you open the pdf file. Perhaps the state needs to update what they post..

You found those on the internet. You did not find those on the ISP and DNR websites. You did a poor job of doing a websearch and then posted the first thing you found and then acted as if you knew what you were talking about. You don't. You did NOT find those on the current ISP nor DNR websites. If you know anything about the internet once something is posted it remains. But neither are on the current ISP nor DNR websites. Had you actually gone to the ISP and/or DNR websites you would have gotten the up to date info.

This is part of the issue, when states can't even post current information. Good luck in your research, I wish you success.

Since you apparently are unable to do an adequate job of searching current websites here's the link to the ISP website. ISP
Look around on the ISP website. Please point to where the current website has any of those flyers you posted. I'll help you out since you've shown you can't find even the website. On the left side of the screen you'll see a drop down titled "Firearms". Go ahead and click on it. Then provide the link that you claim is on the website for those flyers. You won't find those flyers because they're long out of date and haven't been linked to the ISP website in nearly 10 years.
No need to try to justify your actions. You got it wrong and didn't know where to find the right info. Don't blame it on what you claim a state can't get current info. The ISP and DNR does. You are just unable to know it.
You're showing a prime example why laymen should quick giving legal advice. They don't know where to look or research.

If you open the Firearms drop down menu there is no link to Transporting a Fire Arm through the state of IL. Transfer, FFL's, CCW, etc.... but no Transport.

If you go to the IL DNR website IL DNR "Look under I want to" and click on "Transport my firearm legally" oh look, the flyer I referenced. Now in Indiana the DNR is responsible for all firearm related matters. The ISP site wants to direct me in that direction if I search the ISP site for Transporting Firearms, so IL maybe similar. I don't know.

Well if the Feds establish the rules, as you stated above, it seems to me you proved my point that the Interstate is a separate deal and the Feds set the rules (enforced by the states). Granted many those rules are codified into state law for other roads within the state.

Never claimed to give legal advise. I posted some links for others to read and do their own research. If you don't like the link disregard it.

I've had a CDL for 19.5 years so I know a little something from my Interstate miles. Think what you like. Have a good night.
