We offer classes in basic handgun training and Illinois concealed carry. Classes are conducted in a modern, comfortable, and relaxed atmosphere by certified instructors at our office in Tinley Park, Illinois.

No class will guarantee that you will qualify for a concealed carry permit. Please review the Illinois Statute for additional requirements. Refunds are not given due to a failed qualification.

In addition to filling out an application for class, please note the following:

  1. All applicants must be over the age of 21 and have a valid FOID card together with a state-issued photo ID. If you do not have a FOID card, please apply here.

  2. Firearms are NOT required for class, and ammunition should be left at home or in your vehicle. Should you choose to bring a firearm, it must be unloaded and properly cased, and you must have your valid Firearm Owner Identification Card with you. No live ammunition is allowed in class.

  3. Range time is required to qualify for your ICC. This time is included in each of the 8-hour courses. A firearm will be supplied to you at these times, as needed. In either case, you will need to purchase a minimum of 50 rounds of ammunition and rent eye and ear protection. Range locations vary.

  4. Ladies: check the calendar for women-only classes!

Please see our calendar for specific class dates and times, and contact us at ICCDefense@gmail.com with any questions.
