10 Items You Never Knew Were Illegal To Bring Into Illinois

I understand that many residents of Illinois get arrested every day but I had no idea that illegally importing was big on that list.

Did You Realize There Are Laws About Illegal Importing For Residents Of Illinois?

Alright, so I'm a little confused. I know we have United States laws about importing things into our country illegally but I thought that pretty much covered everywhere. Apparently, that's not enough for each state so they came up with their own regulations including Illinois. Some of them will definitely make you chuckle.
