What You'll Learn
Veterans - Looking for your 8-hour Concealed Carry Course? Look no further, I'm offering veteran only classes that offer the exact classroom / range requirement you will need to apply for the Concealed Carry.
Veterans who are active military or have been honorably discharged only require 8 HOURS credit towards their IL Concealed Carry License, as long as you can prove your status with a copy of your DD214 Form.
Interested in receiving your concealed carry license? Join our class for a great day of learning and training! Veterans will require being taught 7 USCCA curriculum lessons that will teach you about firearm ownership, safety rules, situational awareness, basic fundamentals, personal protection and home defense planning. This course will also cover all of Illinois Law Rules & Regulations, plus a shooting qualification that you'll have to pass with a 70%.
This course is a complete guide to understanding the basics of firearms ownership, safety, and nomenclature, and how it applies to home- or self-defense. After this class, students will feel confident to continue their training education to be their own first responder.
After successfully completing and passing this course you will receive a certificate that allows you to apply for your Concealed Carry License through the Illinois State Police website.
Cancellation Policy: Students should inform the instructor 72 hours in advance if they cannot attend and would like to reschedule the course to a future date. I allow up to one rescheduled class before students have to re-register. (No refunds available - All Sales are Final)
