A license-statute type, not a violence rollup
Concealed Carry License Violation rows record alleged breaches of Illinois concealed-carry rules as IUCR coded them: location restrictions, license status, and related language when that is the primary type. Weapons Violation is a separate primary type (not quoted as a second headline here because it is not in this packet's facts). Do not add 408 into a homemade gun-crime total without listing every IUCR type you included.
Possession facts on a row are CPD's wording. This page does not infer whether a person held a license. The public extract is a report file, not ISP's license database.
Illinois concealed-carry rules include location limits. When CPD files those alleged breaches under this primary type, they sit in the 408 rows among 410,083 city incidents. This page does not publish a location-restriction subtotal. Filter descriptions on the overlay.
Cite 408 among 410,083 Chicago incidents. Weapons Violation is a different hub. ISP license files are a different database. This page is IUCR primary type Concealed Carry License Violation only. Do not quote 408 as a gun-violence total.
Share of the Chicago extract
Among 410,083 indexed city incidents, 408 CCL-violation rows are a small slice. Small share is expected for a specific statute type. Official community area names are the city's 77 areas. Maps follow where reports were written, often traffic or street encounters, not a ranking of residents.
Enforcement intensity affects this series. The packet does not include a stop count. Read 408 as report volume in the harvest, not as the number of concealed firearms in Chicago.
ISP license status is a different database. A public incident row is not a license-file lookup. LocalCrimeVault does not infer FOID or CCL status beyond what the row states. Weapons Violation remains a separate hub.
Traffic-stop geography can dominate the map. Official community area names are the 77-area list. Block-level pins are not named license holders. An arrest flag is not a conviction. Record the harvest. LocalCrimeVault does not reclassify charges.

What is concealed carry license violation in Chicago?
Concealed carry license violations are breaches of the Illinois Firearm Concealed Carry Act (430 ILCS 66) by people who hold a CCL — carrying into prohibited areas like schools, bars, or transit, carrying while under the influence, or failing to disclose to officers. These differ from unlawful-use-of-weapon charges, which apply to carrying without any license.
Chicago PD logs these under dedicated concealed-carry IUCR descriptions, most commonly prohibited-area and under-the-influence violations. The category is small relative to general weapons violations since it only covers licensed carriers.
