I've had my Illinois CCW for a year now. I'm still getting used to carrying. It's taken a while because I haven't been able to get in the habit of carrying every day. I do keep it with me in my vehicles at least. Still trying different holsters. The big problem in the Chicago area is the seasons change hourly. What I left the house wearing doesn't work come noontime.
My cary pistol is a Springfield XDs 9mm. Thinking of getting a Ruger LCP for summertime carry.
