Interesting questions. I answered as an 'out of stater'.
I am acutally in a bit of shock that it would be illegal to nock an arrow before or after the legal shooting time. That seems a bit conclusive and even more - intrusive.
Where I live people drive around with loaded guns in their vehicles; and on their hips ( what use is an unloaded gun?) kind of strange to step into the world of illinois!
Thanks for the link though-
