We were one of the first 50 approved for teaching the Illinois Concealed Carry Class. We have been in this from the beginning and even before that. Many people saw this as a gold rush and are bilking people out of thousands of dollars for classes priced way to high. We believe strongly in the second amendment and so we have our classes prices lower than anyone, this one is NOT about the money for us.

 

Common Questions:

What to bring to class
 

 

  • - A concealable firearm with minimum 50 rounds of ammunition. (100 if you ned practice or are new)
  • - All firearms will be cased and unloaded until such time as instructors tell you otherwise.
  • - A shirt,  jacket or concealment vest which will mostly cover your firearm when worn.
  • - Paper and pencil or pen and a good attitude.
  • - (If applicable) Your documents which prove you have 8hrs or 4hrs of previous training.
  • - Eye and hearing protection and a baseball cap.
 

The first 8hrs on day 1 are all the basics as well as some good concealed carry information. (You only need paper an pen for first day)

The second day of class is all about the law and shooting your qualification. We shoot a 11x17 target 10 shots at 5-7-10 yards. Very few people have a hard time getting qualified.

 All classes are held at Rockford Detective Agency Sat-Sun and start at 9am. We shoot at Pine Tree Pistol Club, indoors and heated.
