So you don't have to guess or take advice from people 1000 miles away here's link to ISP gun regs page:

According to the website you have linked to Illinois Law does not preempt local law

Quote:
How do I transport a firearm through an Illinois community with an ordinance that prohibits firearms or handguns?
Illinois' Unlawful Use of Weapons law does not preempt local ordinances from banning firearms. Persons carrying or transporting firearms through such communities could be subject to local firearm ordinances. It is recommended that you contact local authorities regarding their firearm ordinances.


So apparently it is not the Illinois State Police website that you should be looking at for questions about Chicago - they have their own rules. No?
