I wonder how gat knows the criteria of the class and how they are locking in prices now?

It is looking like the standard price for 16 hours. I have seen a few advertize that they were 175 or 200 for 8 hours. I have been charging 100 for the NRA first steps class which is good for the FL permit. I have not decided on what I am charging. It all depends on if I am going to half to rent a range and classroom or not.

GAT needs to pay for their new range and other things they are building on to. so they will be over priced for sure because they think they are top of the line, when they are a joke. They dont even have ammo.

Great CCW bill, huh?
I was going to start complaining and ranting about how this bill is unconstitutional, but screw it. How do I become an instructor so that I can offer a course at cost/for free? Also, I heard that hunters safety satisfies 8 hrs of the requirement. Go take that, I'm willing to bet it's cheaper AND you gain the ability to hunt. |

I'm hoping to do an 8 hour course at my farm for maybe $75 - but once a month and limit of 4 at a time

I talked to instructor at www.crosslinedefense.com and they charge $125 for 8hrs of NRA basic.
With certain facilities and class size it can be lower cost. IL concealed carry will be broken down to a 16hr class or the final 8hr class if that is all is needed. Of course they also are waiting on what the course content will be. They teach in Champaign, Danville & Shelbyville areas right now. |

Well unless I missed something, the ISP hasn't put out the criteria for the class or even who will be qualified as an instructor. How could they price something that they may not even be able to provide?

from what ive read the hunters safety will count for 8 hours DD214 8 hours. its possible other states CCWs will be worth 8 hours.
you can only use 8 hours .but only paying for 8 is better. |

Well, everyone was so happy to get a bill. The funny thing is will the 200-400 class include the permit cost or will that be an additional cost. I plan on taking the NRA instructor course and becoming an instructor. Then I will try to do the class as cheap as possible If I am allowed by the police, because it should be available to everyone and not just people who have money.

So far the $150 is separate.
So that's around $450 for the whole thing. This is what I've found so far. |

Some of you fucking people amaze me. "Goody!!! Goody!!!! I get to pay $450+ to carry my pistol back and forth to my car!!!!!!! I'm a badass!!!!!!!"
The truth of the issue is, this law is the most restrictive and expensive "shall-issue" CCW anywhere. And know we've got every numbnuts that possibly can offering "training" for a couple $100. These same numbnuts have no idea what the required curriculum will look yet are already signing up every sucker they can. Phelps fucked us. The ISRA was "neutral" 'til the shitty bill passed and now are gradually sliding in to take "credit" for this abortion. The NRA pretty much the same. Illinoiscarry was just happy to get anything passed. At the end of the day a shitty bill became a shitty law. Contrary to what some here may (foolishly) believe, it's a shitty law that will not be improved through further legislation.If anything, it will become more restrictive. It's a shitty law that puts it in the hands of ISP, the same ISP that is taking 5+ months to process FOID cards. It's a shitty law with no penalties for ISP dragging their feet. It's a fucking shitty law. I guess the only positive it will give Phelps something to campaign on, ISRA/NRA something to fund raise on and the rest of you something to crow about "how much you've done". |

Its a poor bill. No one even knows with any certainty what significant parts of it mean. The guys who are supposed to be on "our side" are reduced to "legislative intent" for some of the vaguely worded portions.
It is what it is. We got statewide handgun preemption out of it, and while it is another thing poorly worded, the courts may well decide eventually that it means what we hope and think it means. I am in agreement with those who think it is not likely to be improved all that much legislatively any time soon. we might be able to tweak it around the edges a little, but substantive changes are unlikely. At present that is just a pipe dream short of some electoral miracle. I think there is considerable opportunity to deal with the situation in the courts. I also agree that it is likely that NRA/ISRA/IllinoisCarry (basically the same people anyway since the NRA takeover of IC) will take whatever credit they can for it as a fund raising vehicle. What else can they do? Admit they got clocked and then ask for more money? Regardless of how well or poorly they performed (and I am not personally sure which it is), they are the public face of gun owners in IL, and it is not likely they will change much either. The reality is that despite the beating they took on this, we got something out of it. Not what any of us wanted, but it is not zero. We do not even know what we got yet and may not have the complete picture for a number of years as people get arrested and have to litigate stuff to find out what it really means. Or we get favorable decisions from courts invalidating chunks of it. Who knows where the courts will get us five or ten years down the road? |

I see a lot of posts by people that appear to speak with authority. I see them attack the groups that helped pass concealed carry in the last state in the nation. They tout how the courts are going to come in and tweak the bill to their liking...These people don't have a clue!
Someone show me in the court ruling where the judges stated that the fees had to be less than $150 (which I agree is too much). Someone show me where their ruling would have precluded "may issue". Show me where the courts would have gotten bent out of shape because the CC people had to take a 16 hour class...(our original bill called for 8). What they ruled and the narrowness of it is basically that IL cannot have a total ban on carrying for self defense. There are currently court cases going on in other states trying to overthrow "may issue" but to date, they have failed. There is a reason we are the last state in the union to get a carry law that several other states would LOVE to have and congratulated us on accomplishing. They didn't just forget to pass a carry law here...We are the last state (because of Cook County), we are the most anti-carry state in the Union! With its warts (and it has plenty)... Already, court cases with UUW are being thrown out! Already, the Chicago handgun registration is thrown out! Non-resident folks with CC permits can carry a loaded handgun in their cars anywhere in IL except for nuclear facilities! Residents can transport with a freakin FOID any legal to transport gun with only state regulations to worry about. After a terrible battle up North with very few failures, we have an end to NEW gun regulations or bans in home rule communities. Even with all the restricted areas (man! there are a lot) You can still legally transport (unloaded and enclosed in a case in those areas). We have a SHALL ISSUE law!!! For any of the people who don't get it...THIS IS HUGE!!! Of this....I AM PROUD! We have total preemption on carry guns. THIS IS HUGE!!! Of this....I AM PROUD! No local community can ban or further restrict the guns or accessories we carry. So, you can legally carry a normal capacity Glock & a backup pistol & extra mags. & hang lasers all over them! It is legal by IL State Law! Someone else can take the time to enumerate just what we have now and see if anything is better because of this law...My favorite (pre-law) situation was if you got caught with a loaded carry gun, you were subject to a FELONY charge.... One other little possible fringe benefit is that if we ever get another run at a national reciprocity law, they won't be hindered by IL not having a law and we will be counted just like the rest of the states!!!

I suspect a national LTC reciprocity bill is a long way from being a reality. But one never knows. As a red meat issue it is a good one. As public policy and in the world of practical politics, who knows? Mike Rowe IllinoisCarry.com Maybe it is a good thing that no licenses will likely be issued for 6 months or more. It gives people with more distance from the situation a chance to look at what we have in a clearer light. |

I would not normally look a gift horse in the mouth, but one from the likes of MM is always suspect. We have been suspect of Madigan from the very start...However, no matter how you feel about him...He delivered everything he promised (except the wipe out of home rule assault weapons bans which Cullerton undid). There have been no "gift horses". The fact that we got to this point was the result of a lot of people working for a very long time to get us to a place where this conversation was forced upon freakin IL. IllinoisCarry, ISRA, and NRA were all part of that process and I am DANG Proud! As for IllinoisCarry, we are just volunteers with leaders that have come together and worked for a common cause. We managed to do it even with the burden of the negative complainers that took more from the table than they brought. You can decide for yourself if the "risk" isn't good enough for you to exercise your rights....I'm basing my opinions on NRA Lawyers that combed this law with a fine toothed comb...The likes of the lawyers that brought the Heller and McDonald decisions...The lawyers at the ISRA...The lawyers within the capitol itself. I believe you thumbed your nose at "legislative intent"... That was injected by our lawyers to clarify the law being passed when there wasn't time to re-draft the law and run it through both houses for another vote. So, for all the wannabe lawyers and 2nd amendment scholars that want to second-guess those of us that were on the front line...go ahead... I for one am growing tired of the same old "this is a crap law" rhetoric!...Either show us your law degree...or show us your legal team or quite disseminating misinformation with authority. |

It is a crap law. But, it is also undoubtedly a step up from what we had a month ago.
As for legislative intent being enforceable over what the law actually says, only time and the IL court system will tell us that. And just because a lawyer, legislator, or lobbyist said something about the bill makes it no more true than if you or I said it. The only opinion that ultimately matters comes from the IL SC as far as what IL law means. I would like to believe that in the end we will not get any real surprises out of it. But, Madigan cannot be trusted. Nor can Chicago. Period. If there is any wiggle room for them, they will take it and there will be people in jail over it, at least until it is sorted out in court. |

If you are so sure about all this stuff, I encourage you to go to an unfriendly jurisdiction and get yourself arrested and see just what it really means in court. Otherwise you are just a big talker, like all the other big talkers who say the thing means something, but will not be willing to be the test case either. I don't see anyone wanting to purposely stick their necks out just to prove a point...there are more dangers than just misinterpreting the laws...It is stupid and I might add it is stupid to even suggest. However, after being licensed, I would exercise my right anywhere within the state I had to go. However, right now...I wouldn't chose to go into South Chicago with or without a gun! I guess my point is if I had to choose between your opinion or a team of NRA and SAF lawyers, I wouldn't listen to you...I am not touting my credentials...I am disseminating information gleaned from them...Where are your sourcing your opinions? A keyboard does not an authority make. The law is what it is. I won't continue to defend or argue with those that love to discredit and argue. If anyone else has any serious questions about the law, I'll try to answer. |

Contrary to what some here may (foolishly) believe, it's a shitty law that will not be improved through further legislation.If anything, it will become more restrictive. It's a shitty law that puts it in the hands of ISP, the same ISP that is taking 5+ months to process FOID cards. It's a shitty law with no penalties for ISP dragging their feet. It's a fucking shitty law. I guess the only positive it will give Phelps something to campaign on, ISRA/NRA something to fund raise on and the rest of you something to crow about "how much you've done". You know, it takes some fucking huge balls to ask me what I've done when you willingly give money (through your union) to those that want nothing more than complete civilian disarmament. As a union stooge, your opinion is irrelevant. |

So, we are up to $450 already to exercise a Constitutionally guaranteed right?? Thanks Phelps, ISRA and Illinoiscarry. Its not perfect, but together they got a lot further than you did, which is whining on the internet like an insolent teenager that didnt get their way. Wow, whining....If I remember correctly the reason that HB 997 didn't go forward was because of a lot of whining from the northeastern part of the state about their politics and why they couldn't have something that the rest of the state did. . |

Speak wisdom to a fool and he will call you foolish...
For the record...It was myself and my wife that invited Mary Shepard and Otis McDonald to the court room....And, IllinoisCarry was a plaintiff in the Moore vs madigan case that was combined into Shepard....Some of the language in this law (not much unfortunately) was pulled from our previous bills... Do you expect a bunch of lawyers to comb through the pages of gun forums looking for goofy keyboard naysayers so they can put their minds at ease....Again, our contact list has the best second amendment lawyers in the country on it...Last night, I was with Reps. Phelps and Bost...They will be helping me on the training aspect this week. And...Phelps has been absolutely true to this cause for the 9 years we have worked with him on it! But, by all means, those of you that just want to attack, complain and stir controversy...I know you get some thrill out of causing upheaval....You do your thing and I'll do mine. |

It's merely your opinion, and that's it. The legislators of this state waited until the last goddamn minute to do anything, and if we didn't have good folks representing our cause, a "may issue" bill might have been passed instead of a shall issue bill. Then we'd be stuck in a deeper shithole than we are now. It's your right to disagree, but don't spread hearsay while you're at it. |

Class Prices? Did I mention www.crosslinedefense.com is $125 for 8hr NRA Basic. They said they could probably offer full 16hr class for $200.
Also if you come and take it in Shelby Co, it is a Concealed Carry until permits are being issued County - so says the States Attorney. |

swanhunter and todd v thanks for fighting the good fight! this is illinois for crying out loud, nothing is easy people! if you thought we were going to get a arizona type ccw your delusional at best. the madigans need money to keep the machine going. this $300 is all about feeding the hungry machine. plenty of states would like to start where we are starting with ccw. its not a perfect bill but its one we can go forward with and improve on.
