The State accepts the NRA Basic Pistol as fulfilling 8 hours, that doesn't cover:
Applicable State and federal laws relating to the ownership, storage, carry, and transportation of a firearm; drawing from concealment, understanding the Illinois "Safe Haven" provision, or appropriate and lawful interaction with law enforcement while transporting or carrying a concealed firearm.
You might make a case that it all could be covered in 8 hours in some kind of modified NRA BP+ course. But if you make the assumption that everything in NRA BP must be taught to Illinois applicants, and the NRA BP is an 8 hour course, then the other stuff obviously takes the students past a normal 8-hour day's worth of training.
