If you are interested in obtaining your Illinois Concealed Carry License, why not enroll in the next Concealed Carry course being offered by Illinois Eastern Community Colleges which will be offered at Wabash Valley College at the Advanced Technology Center on Thursday and Friday nights, September 24 and 25, from 6:00 – 10:00 p.m., and on  Saturday, September 26, from 8:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.  Jay Carter is the instructor for this class.

Not only will attendees learn the minimum information required by the Concealed Carry Act, but through the use of lecture and range drills, attendees will learn how to safely handle a handgun and hone their skills, as a marksman, and survive a real-world encounter.  Whether you are new to handguns or more experienced, this course is designed to make everyone a more knowledgeable and accomplished shooter.  Through the teaching of current trends and techniques, students will learn and understand how to maintain the proper mindset, skills, and abilities that come with “bearing arms” for the purpose of self-defense.

Pre-registration is required.  The cost of the 16-hour course is $184 for in-District students, which includes tuition and fees, and must be paid in advance to reserve a seat in the course.  The cost for enrollees over 60 years old is $92.  For more information or to get registered, contact your local Student Services Office:  Wabash Valley College-Mt.
