On September 11, 2013 the Chicago City Council effectively eliminated the requirement to register firearms with the City of Chicago when it voted to abolish the City's gun registry.

Department Directive U04-02 was amended by the Department with an effective date of December 27, 2013. The amendment to this Directive now includes a requirement for all Department members to register all duty and non-duty related firearms with the Department.

The Lodge has requested a meeting with the Superintendent to discuss this matter. We will keep you apprised of any developments regarding this important issue.
