The Woman-only Illinois Concealed Carry Course is an Instructor-led class specifically designed to familiarize female attendees with handgun operations and safety, and meet the minimum requirements for an Illinois Concealed Carry License. The course is approximately 16 hrs. of classroom presentation, plus 1-2 hrs. of hands-on training and range qualification at a local gun range. Day one focuses on major handgun components and actions, proper loading and handling, correct aiming technique, major differences in ammunition, cleaning and storage, and much more. Day two covers the legalities of carrying a concealed firearm in Illinois, and individual responsibilities of the licensee. Particular emphasis is placed on issues and concerns commonly raised by women during our standard Illinois Concealed Carry License course.
Students are exposed to an array of handguns, ammo, and related equipment during the course. Strict firearms safety protocols will be observed at all times. Personal handguns and live ammunition are NOT allowed in the classroom.
Up to 8-hours of the CCL course may be satisfied by completing an approved firearms training / Law Enforcement training, or proof of prior military service. (Verification of alternate training or military service must be provided to opt out of the day-one session.) If individual instruction is desired, additional one-on-one assistance can be provided. Please contact us for pricing.

Note: Unless requested otherwise, we utilize the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting curriculum to satisfy the day-1 requirement of this 2-day course. We believe it delivers greater value to the student for no additional charge.
