Our unique approach to Illinois Concealed Carry instruction includes two phases of training:

1. In Phase One, we utilize the time tested N.R.A. Basics of Pistol Shooting course for those shooters who require 12 or 16 hours of training. This eight hour, fast paced, unit of instruction includes:

Firearms safety

Storage

Cleaning

Basic principles of marksmanship

Everything you’ll need to know to own and operate your gun safely and with efficiency!

We wrap up this phase of instruction with our very own Skills and Drills program, utilizing a state of the art laser training system designed to hone your basic marksmanship skills.

This N.R.A. training is offered exclusively online by the N.R.A. and typically takes from 6-8 hours to complete. You can complete the training at your leisure and in the confort of your own home. Please contact Suburban P.I. Inc. for registration information and for greater details.

2. Our Phase Two training meets the State requirements for shooters who have had "approved" prior training, and who now need specific training for concealed carry certification in Illinois. This eight hour unit of instruction revolves around the legal requirements of “The Act;” use of force; the ownership, sale, transport, and transfer of firearms; and the State’s qualification shoot. This informative, thought provoking, and intense phase of instruction will leave you better prepared legally, emotionally, and spiritually to make that critical decision.
