Learn the basics of home defense fundamentals, the do's and don'ts of conceal carry in regards to Illinois law, and get instruction from an Army Veteran on marksmanship! Classes are Saturday-Sunday, and you should bring the following:
Eye and ear protection (If you do not have any, you can buy these at the range we attend for the shooting qualifcation)
Semi-automatic handgun (I will be bringing a handgun for students to use that do not currently own one, but you are encouraged to bring your own)
50 rounds of 9mm or appropriate ammunition (If you do not have ammunition, or are using one of our handguns, you will have to purchase a box at the range we go to.)
A good attitude!
