So Chicago has "some of the toughest gun laws in country" because you can't carry a loaded gun onto a city bus? That's it? That's what you got?
No handgun bans? No bans on gun stores? No bans on concealed carry? Just "you can't carry guns on buses?" OK then.
Not only are handguns 100% legal to own in Chicago, they are also 100% legal to carry concealed with a permit. Also, Illinois is a "shall-issue" CCW state, just like Michigan is, and that applies equally to Chicago.
Just like every other state that has legalized concealed carry, Illinois places some modest restrictions on where you can take them. The ban on carrying loaded gun on public transit was a part of state law, it was not a Chicago-specific ordinance or law.
Chicago's gun laws are no more "tough" than you would find here in Michigan, where for example you are not permitted to bring weapons on-board SMART buses.
