This is an 8-hour class covering the fundamentals of responsible firearms ownership and use. It is highly recommended for beginning shooters and/or first-time handgun owners. The focus of the instruction is on handguns, but the principles apply to rifles and shotguns as well.

This class is also a prerequisite for most people seeking an Illinois Concealed Carry permit. See details.

Illinois Concealed Carry regulations require 16 hours of classroom instruction and live fire for qualification. The Bullet Trap divides these into two, 8-hour classes. The first eight hours can be satisfied by our Basic Pistol Safety Class (BPSC) and the second 8 hours are the Concealed Carry Class (CCC).

Be sure you understand and have satisfied (or plan to) all prerequisites required by Illinois law before taking this class.See details.
