Phalanx Training, Inc. to Offer Firearms Training In Evanston Beginning October

As I previously explained, I have been approved as an Illinois Concealed Carry License Instructor by the Illinois State Police. If you have questions with regard to training requirements to obtain a concealed carry license in Illinois, the FAQs are located here.  If you don't have any prior training, the requirement is sixteen hours. I will be teaching the NRA Basic Pistol Course for the first eight hours and the IllinoisCarry.com curricula for the second eight hours which covers the law on deadly force, drawing from concealment, and the range based qualification testing. You can review the law on deadly force here.

You can use the NRA Education training website to sign up for the first day of training here. They list our classes which are in Evanston under Phalanx Training, Inc. or any of a number of other local instructors.
