$175.00

Course Description

The Illinois Concealed Carry Certificate program provides students with the detailed instruction needed to carry, care for, and use a concealed weapon.

The course will instruct students on the types of situations in which it may be appropriate to use a handgun. Pistol and ammunition nomenclature will be a focus of study, too. Students also will learn best practices for handgun safety, cleaning and maintenance. This course will teach the skills associated with properly loading, unloading, and shooting a handgun. These shooting techniques include proper breathing, isometric tension, and sight alignment. Finally, students will synthesize the skills they have learned with dry firing practice and time at the gun range. This course will bring students up to date on local, state and federal concealed carry laws. Upon completion, you will receive a certificate showing that you have met the training requirements necessary to apply for the Illinois Conceal and Carry license. Classes are limited to 28 students, so early registration is recommended.
