Are you near Joliet? We could carpool if you are.

She lives in Ashmore, near Charleston. Too far south of you. I am sure there are others!

Where my father lives, there was no leash law and he is also in unicorporated will county. New lenox township, where dad lives, has now instituted a leash law. I am in a different township than dad but still in unic will county.
I was told by a police officer(also not a lawyer):
"It varies by municipality however in my unicorporated Will County municipality, the law says: I may shoot any threat to my person or property ( hens ) if it is safe to do so. It was reccomended that if the threat was a person, to call the police and NOT threaten them with a gun and not shoot them ."
I think you need to check with your local police department.

Thanks! I probably will check with them now. I would think what you said ( poice officer said) would be along the right lines. I just wanted to make sure because knowing my luck, I'd shoot it then sent to jail for it

lol. Well maybe not that bad.

Edited to put in the correct Website

Here in Arkansas, it's legal to shoot a dog that's threatening your property, except your own dog, but it's not enforced.
