Illinois is one of two states that permits neither.
There are two good reasons why concealed carry is more prevalent:
1) Criminals don't know who is armed and who is unarmed. They have to be much more cautious. They may be in a situation where no one is armed, but they don't know that for sure.
2) Many average citizens are uncomfortable around guns.
