ILLINOIS CONCEALED CARRY LICENSE

The IL Concealed Carry Course consists of 16hrs training both in the classroom and on the range. Most classes are split into two 8hr days. Those of you that have had prior military service training or other concealed carry or NRA courses may not need the full 16hrs of training. You may be eligible for the 8hr or 12hr course. A FOID card is not required to take the class, however, a FOID is REQUIRED for shooting at our INDOOR RANGE (call for details). If you have any inquiries on which class you require, please feel free to contact us or visit the IL State Police FAQ website HERE.
