   DNR ISSUES CLARIFICATION FOR HUNTERS TRANSPORTING FIREARMS

     SPRINGFIELD, ILL., Dec. 17, 1996 -- Department of Natural Resources Conservation
Police Chief Larry Closson issued the following statement regarding the transportation of
firearms in a vehicle:

     "The laws regarding how individuals with valid Firearm Owners Identification cards
transport firearms have not changed," Closson said. "Firearms that are unloaded and enclosed in
a case meet the exemption for the transportation of firearms allowed under the Criminal Code."

     Closson said the Department periodically receives calls from sportsmen asking how they
can legally transport firearms in a vehicle. The callers are seeking clarification of a 1995 law that
increased the penalty for unlawful use of a weapon from a misdemeanor to a felony. That law did
not change the manner in which firearms must be transported, however, Closson said.
