Actually, for IL, it is not "next to impossible" to get a CCW. It's actually rather easy. IL is a shall issue state. What that means as long as you are not prohibited from possessing a firearm and you take a 16 hour course then you will be issued a CCW.

All this even applies in Chicago - which some people think is all of IL.
