Illinois State Police Officials released information on regulatory requirements for concealed carry signage under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.  Individuals licensed to carry a concealed firearm under the Firearm Concealed Carry Act are prohibited from carrying a firearm on, or into, any of the prohibited areas listed under Section 65 of the statute.  Private property owners may also prohibit individuals from carrying a concealed firearm on, or into, property under their control.  Owners of any statutorily prohibited area or private property, excluding residences, where the owner prohibits the carrying of firearms must clearly and conspicuously post the Illinois State Police approved sign at the entrance of the building, premises or real property.  Signs stating that the carrying of firearms is prohibited shall be clearly and conspicuously posted at the entrance of a building, premises, or real property, unless the building or premises is a private residence.  Signs shall be of a uniform design as established by the Department and shall be 4 inches by 6 inches in size.  To download a template of the approved sign for use, visit the ISP website at www.isp.state.il.us/firearms/ccw.
