Your firearm and ammunition are NOT allowed into the classroom, leave them locked in your vehicle.

Students will need to bring a firearm (if you have one) and at least 30 rounds of ammunition (you can share your firearm with others in your group if you choose but cannot be in the same firing line at the range) for qualification. There is not a minimum or maximum caliber required for qualification (you are not required to qualify with the firearm that you will be carrying). We encourage participants to bring 3 magazines with 10 rounds loaded in each. Please do not bring a single action only revolver, meaning you would need your thumb to cock the hammer for each trigger pull.

Illinois Livescan Fingerprinting will be provided for $40.

For the range qualification - Participants do not need to bring a concealment holster to class. You will not be drawing from a concealment position at the range. Students must score a minimum of 70% to pass. You will be shooting 10 rounds at 5 yards, 10 rounds at 7 yards, and 10 rounds at 10 yards. We will be using a B-27 Silhouette target. You will need 21 hits out of 30 rounds in the black portion of the silhouette. The B-27 target will be provided by Tactical Security Institute.
