The owner of private real property of any type may prohibit the carrying of conceled firearms on the property under his or her control. The owner must post a sign in accordance with 430 ILCS 66/65 subsection (d) indicating that firearms are prohibited on the property, unless the propery is a private residence.

Pursuant to Section 65(d) of the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, signs must be of a uniform design and the Illinois State Police is responsible for adopting rules for standardized signs. The Illinois State Police has proposed rules which require a white background; no text (except the reference to the Illinois Code 430 ILCS 66/1) or marking within the one-inch area surrounding the graphic design; a depiction of a handgun in black ink with a circle around and diagonal slash across the firearm in red ink; and that the circle be 4 inches in diameter. The sign in its entirety will measure 4 inches x 6 inches.
