On Being A Responsible Firearm Owner

Concealed Carry is coming to Illinois and as part of my commitment to making a contribution to responsible firearm ownership in general and concealed carry in  particular, I am personally going to get reengaged in firearm certification and training. I started the process over three days this weekend in firing close to 1300 rounds over three days of training classes.

I had a GREAT weekend spent it on a farm outside Peoria for the last three days....completed the NRA Personal Protection in the Home, Personal Protection Outside the Home, Personal Protection Outside the Home - Advanced Shooting, and the Illinois Dept. of Professional and Financial Regulation Armed Security Officer Certification course for revolver, semi-auto pistol, rifle and shotgun. We believe that the courses I completed WILL satisfy all of the requirements for Illinois Concealed Carry. I am signed up to complete tactical shotgun and Advanced High Power Rifle in the coming weeks and am starting the instructor classes.
