The Illinois State Police (ISP) requires 16 hours of training to qualify for the Illinois CCW permit. Classes are usually held on a Saturday and broken up to two different dates with the first class being classroom instruction*. The second class is classroom and range qualification as required by the ISP, which includes training and a live-fire qualification. We also will be offering the 3 hour renewal course.
To expedite your application process for your CCW permit, you may consider obtaining your fingerprints (live-scan) prior to the completion of the CCW class.
We also offer training for basic or intermediate gun handling and tactical shooting. The training is designed to give you the necessary knowledge to improve your skills that is not offered during the concealed carry classes.
Your instructor, Dale Fildes, is a retired police officer and has been a firearms instructor for over 20 years. The training will better prepare you for today's activities and challenges you will face, legally and tactically. We strive to give you the essential skills and knowledge to guard yourself and your family against harm.
We look forward to instructing you.
