Well, since the class is so easy and the cost is minimal, do you really want to deal with the hassle of a Lawyer, Court, loss of a firearm etc? Around here $250 gets you the class and the permit (along with the wait of course.)

As for the penalty? Don't know, don't want to find out.

to clarify i have renewed twice plus the original. still would like to know the penalty. ps my wife has renewed once and quite often out shoots me.

The answer to the original question is: too much.

I often recommend people to get the permit even if they dont plan to carry. What I tell them is that the more permit holders there are, the bigger the vote against politicians seeking to limit those rights. With over 200k holders in a state population of 7M that's a lot of people.

Ask Mike.357, see what they wanted to do to him. They wanted me to do 90 days in jail in Illinois on a misdemeanor possession charge.

It also depends on the circumstances of how they find it. It doesn’t take much to turn a misdemeanor into a felony if you commit it while armed.
