GUN TRAINING

We will also continue to offer our 16-hour Illinois Concealed Carry courses when requested by our clients. Illinois Concealed Carry was a flash in the pan for us here at ATTS. We ran several large classes at first, and then requests died off completely. We believe that the huge number of instructors on the State's website (around 3,000) had a lot to do with this. As we found out through the media, many were, and still are unqualified to teach this course. Add that to the State's extremely high application fee, and the stringent restrictions they placed upon the citizens of Illinois on where they could carry their pistols probably turned a lot of people off. The State was expecting to process 400,000 applications the first year. I believe they only processed about 100,000. We'll see if 2015 brings any any changes from Springfield in regard to the application fees, and if they decide to relax some of the carry restrictions, but I would highly doubt it... ATTS also created a Hall of Fame..
