Illinois
Concealed Carry License/Weapon (CCL/CCW) Courses
The
Illinois State Police (ISP) requires 16 hours of training to qualify
for the Illinois CCL/CCW permit. In addition, the ISP requires
that students complete a live-fire range qualification (discharging 30
rounds minimum at 5, 7 & 10 yards at a B27 target with 70% accuracy).
We do the range portion at GAT GUNS in East Dundee. Furthermore, the applicant can purchase optional “live-scan”
fingerprinting services to expedite and assure correct
background check process completion – in order to qualify for the
Illinois CCL/CCW. An applicant can opt-out of the live-scan
fingerprinting and submit his/her Illinois CCL/CCW application without –
but this will automatically cause a delay in CCL/CCW permit
approval and can, if the background check cannot be completed without
fingerprints, delay the CCL/CCW application process (you could be asked
to submit fingerprints).
