Students will be instructed in the principles of safe gun handling, fundamentals of pistol firearms, marksmanship, basics of home defense and basics of concealed carry. The limited enrollment allows for each participant to receive personal attention and instruction.
Eligibility

The Training
Participants receive training that meets the requirement of Illinois State Police Concealed Carry Training, as well as the NRA Basic Pistol and Personal Protection Outside the Home. PPOTH is the only nationally accredited course for concealed carry and is widely accepted by other states. Certifications for these courses are competency-based and require the student to demonstrate competency through both written and practical tests.
