CONCEALED CARRY CLASSES FOR THE ILLINOIS CCW LICENSE>>>>

You can now take Concealed Carry Classes at the Bass-Pro Shop in Gurnee. Training by Christy, which has a great female Trainer named Christy Worth. Ladies, this is a great Training Class for you, because you get help from a young lady that understands how to make you relax and feel comfortable about getting your CCW License Training. Her Father Bill Worth is involved as a Trainer as well and does a great job of making 16 Hrs. of Firearms Traing fly by.  Cabelas in Hoffman Estates works with Hot Shot Firearms Training or you can find many othe locations, including the Bristol Shooting Range in Bristol Wisconsin. The average class cost is $250.00 for the full 16 hour / 2 day class. You need to have your Illinois FOID Card and be prepared to fire your handgun for the shooting qualification portion of the class.  You will need to shoot at least 21 out of 30 shots into a target the size of a full sized man at 15 Ft., 21 Ft. and 30 Ft. Not a difficult task at all, for a person that has spent anytime at all at the range. The ISP will not release the applications until January 4th of 2014 but you should get your Training done now, before the mad rush happens in 2014. www.illinoiscarry.com has a great Forum, that covers many of the FAQ's.
