News about the 16 hours of Training for CC in IL
So, I stopped by the LGS/range today where they have been offering the 16 hours of training one needs to get the concealed carry under Illinois new laws. I mostly went to look for powder and ammo and drool over the gun case. I asked the guy about what the 16 hours covered. Amazingly the only things required by the state are info about the FOID act (Firearms Owner Identification card) and a shooting test. He describe the test and I'm pretty sure I could pass it today without any training. So what fills the rest of the sixteen hours? Whatever the trainer wants to put in. AMAZINGLY the legislature did not have 16 hours worth of specific material they wanted the Illinois concealed carry permit holders to have. They just wanted 16 hours. How stupid and pathetic is that. I'm a touch angry and think there will be some letters to my state reps soon.
