Illinois Concealed Carry Part 2 is designed to meet the legal requirements for the second 8 hours of the required 16 hours for IL CCL.
Full Description: During this class, students will be informed of the laws that pertain to carrying a concealed weapon as well as laws pertaining to the use of deadly force in defense of yourself, your home, property and family. This class includes classroom instruction and up to 3 hours of shooting OUTSIDE! Our NRA/IL Certified Instructor will teach students how to carry a pistol responsibly and how to draw and shoot from an OWB holster concealed! Carrying a concealed weapon will change not only your life, but your lifestyle as well. This 8 hour class will provide you with the tools to effectively deal with this change. The Illinois permit is valid for 5 years and is currently accepted in over 25 states. The state of Illinois requires veterans with a DD214 to attend the second 8 hours of training to apply for their Illinois CCL permit. However, Red Dot Arms is pleased to announce that ALL DD214 holders and current serving military attend our CCL Part 1 at NO CHARGE. This free class is our own requirement to attend the part 2 class. This allows us to offer this class safely to all students as this class includes a few hours on the range shooting from a holster. A shooting qualification will take place during this class in order to receive your state of IL certificate.
