[September 27, 2013]
SPRINGFIELD -- On Monday the
Illinois State Police will post a list of approved curriculums for
concealed carry firearms training. The list will be available on the
department website, http://www.isp.state.il.us/.
|
The department has also developed a registry that includes
information regarding approved instructors who have applied and
successfully demonstrate that they meet all of the statutory
requirements. The registry includes only approved instructors who
have submitted complete applications and have met all requirements.
To avoid delays in the approval process, the department stresses
that applicants thoroughly proofread and fully answer all questions
contained in the entire application before submitting the
application.
Upon approval from the department, instructors will receive a
packet containing instructions further explaining the training
process. A unique identification number will be issued to each
instructor and for each approved curriculum. A "Certificate of
Completion" form that the instructors will issue to class attendees
upon successful completion of training will also be included in the
packet.

Additionally, the Illinois State Police will post a list of
approved training that is recognized by the laws of other states, so
that instructors may use previously obtained credit hours for each
approved curriculum.
Individuals interested in applying for a concealed carry license
must successfully complete approved training from an approved
Illinois concealed carry firearms instructor. Applications for a
concealed carry license will be available in early January.
The Illinois State Police regularly updates its FAQs on concealed
carry with information regarding the Illinois concealed carry
process. Updates are available at
