By just doing a Google search, I found several concealed carry trainers, but only a few were in the Southwest Suburbs of Chicago. I called Illinois Concealed Carry Training Academy (ICCTA) because they met my three main criteria. First, and most importantly, all of their instructors are active duty police officers with several years of experience. I really appreciate this fact because they’ve been in real life situations unlike almost all civilian instructors. Second, they have a «brick and mortar» location unlike many who use banquet halls, conference rooms at hotels, and other random locations. I was scammed by a different training company that used a hotel conference room (feel free to click on my profile and check out that review), so this place having a dedicated building and location was very important to me. Third, for the qualification portion of the course, they used a firing range that was only 15 minutes away. Some of the others I looked into were based in one location and used a range that was over an hour away. With regard to the course itself, it’s broken up into four 4-​hour modules that are offered at different times, so you can complete them at your leisure. Greg, the instructor, was very nice, very patient, and very knowledgable. He has definitely spent a good amount of time learning the material and knowing the ins and outs of this law. We had one or two people who were extremely inexperienced with firearms and he had the patience of Job. Heck, I’m one of those people who asks an inordinate amount of questions and he never seemed bothered by it. It really made me feel like he wants his students to truly understand the material. Beyond that, I’ve been shooting for about 20 years and Greg noticed something strange about my grip (reversed thumbs) and my stance (leaning head). He suggested another way and after trying it his way, I noticed that I was shooting much better and had considerably tighter grouping. Finally, what I appreciated most was the fact that Greg is a cop. We threw scenarios at him (some were pretty freaking obscure) and he always had a good answer or a personal story to share that gave us a good answer. All in all, I really enjoyed the class because it wasn’t like going to school and being lectured. Greg gave us the information, but also had a lot of class participation which made the time fly by. So, if you’re looking for concealed carry training, I’d highly recommend ICCTA.
