West Chicago is NOT the west side of Chicago it's a western suburb, far away from city.

Since that’s where I’m currently visiting sans firearm, I have a very strong longing for my 9” 300BLK MCX at the moment. But barring that, fullsize gun with extra mag

Oak Brook is hardly west side. It's a lily-white near west suburb, south of O'Hare.

Nothing to see there. It's a corporate office city. I actually avoid going there because the boredom can sometimes be fatal.

Plenty of places to eat, though, as you negotiate your business deals.

You probably should have that 8 gun vest that the father on Boondock Saints had.

Western Suburbs != West side of Chicago.

I usually just carry an LCP while working in Chicago. Still alive.

Oak Brook is upper middle class, you should be fine.

Gibson's, Wildfire, or Fogo De Chao

Oak Brook is an extremely wealthy town. Given that, there was a shooting at the mall last December which (at this point )is an anomaly.

Try not to run over any of the panhandlers at 22nd and Rt 83. Those assholes love to walk out in front of traffic.

You can't carry a pistol in Illinois, that's illegal!

So I'm gonna say bring a Hi-Point instead and Mexican carry it!


That's what I do anyway.

2 ak47s one under each arm.

Don't forget if the judge asks you if you were conceal carrying without an illnois CCl.  Just puff out your chest and say..."Ya so what ja gonna do about it?" .

Glock 19 or 17 with as many spare mags as possible.

Illinois does not recognize any other states CCW. If you have an out of state CCW you can have a load gun with you in the car but not outside of it. Also, a lot of restaurants are posted and the signs are not just a suggestion.

Oak Brook is an upscale area and you will be fine there. There are a lot of nice restaurants in the area.

If you're going to the mall, G19 and 2 reloads.
They had an "active shooter event" there back around Christmas.

The rest of town is about as safe as a town can be.
Mostly office space and restaurants.

Used to be the bedroom community to the Italian mob guys.
might still be.

In his vehicle, yes it's legal. Has been since 2013.

If you can't CC a handgun legally, don't.
If the area looks too sketchy, don't get out of your vehicle.
Think real hard about your worst case scenario in Cook County, and about being in a world of shit.
