Chicago, like all of Illinois, has an “assault weapons” ban, a “high capacity” magazine ban, a red flag law, a 72-hour waiting period on gun purchases, and a licensing requirement for gun owners. Cook County — the county in which Chicago sits — has its own ban on “assault weapons” and “high capacity” magazines.
