Niles, IL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/08/2015 -- Concealed Carry Safety for Personal Defense Inc. announces new classes are now forming for individuals wishing to obtain their concealed carry license. With a 16 hour concealed carry training course, individuals obtain the necessary gun training to remain in compliance with Illinois law. As there is a great deal of controversy surrounding Illinois concealed carry, individuals need to ensure they take part in a comprehensive course, one designed to cover the information they must know.

"The concealed carry courses offered cover Illinois concealed carry laws and are run by a highly trained professional former police officer who assists both novice and experienced shooters in boosting their skills. For those who feel they need additional training, the center likewise offers security guard training, personal defense classes for women, advanced marksmanship classes and private classes," Marc Jens, spokesperson for Concealed Carry Safety for Personal Defense Inc., declares.

Individuals do need to remember that obtaining a concealed carry permit does cost money. The application and firearm together will run an average of $750 without the case or ammunition. In addition, training must be taken and, for those choosing digital fingerprints, there's an additional fee. This is only the beginning of what one must know when it comes to carrying a weapon in this manner.

Jens explains that residents, in past times, could purchase a weapon and ammunition by showing their FOID card. This allowed them to possess a firearm in their home for personal protection, but the firearm could only leave the premises in a case and only if going to a firearms training center. If the spouse with the FOID card passed away, however, the surviving spouse could do nothing with this weapon. For this reason, an FOID card should be had by all.This is only one of many things residents will learn in the class.

Individuals must know when an FOID is required for a handgun and when it is required for a rifle. In addition, residents of Illinois need to know if Illinois has a castle doctrine, if weapons are permitted in restaurants and which states offer concealed carry reciprocity. Information such as this is of great importance as one does not want to find they are in legal trouble because they had misinformation.

"The concealed carry class ensures residents have the information they need related to this topic. The 16 hour course includes the range fee and targets, and participants have access to eye and ear protection at no additional charge.
