These dates are tentative and I think we will be adding a CCW Class in May once we figure out when local graduations are. We will also be doing our Range Day/Weiner Roast probably sometime in October, so keep an eye on the page for that event. I’ll soon be creating individual events to correspond with the schedule.
RECERT CLASS INFO: ISP will not let you complete your online recertification application until you are within 3 months of your CCW permit expiration date, so keep that in mind when you sign up for a recert class. We are asking for you to be considerate of those who may expire before you, and NOT sign up for a recert class until you hit the 3 month mark. So, if you don’t expire until Nov. 2019, don’t sign up for a March renewal…wait until July or August. As long as you complete your recert class, and complete your online renewal with ISP PRIOR to your CCW expiration date you will still be able to carry concealed even though your current permit may expire prior to receiving your new one. Renewal class fees are $50, paid in advance. ISP renewal fees are the same as your initial permit ($153 and change).
CCW CLASS INFO: Our 8-16 hour classes will remain pretty much the same. There will be detailed info posted with each event. Fees for the 8 hour CCW class are $75. If you have the IL Hunter Safety Card your class fee will be $115. If you need the full 16 hour class your fee will be $150. We are asking for a $25 deposit to hold a seat in all classes with the exception of the Recert classes (see RECERT CLASS INFO above). Your seat WILL NOT BE RESERVED just because you click on an event, or talk to us on the phone. While our classroom fees will remain the same as last year, we will not be offering the couples/family discount, as training materials and liability insurance are getting more expensive.
