Lasswell.s Concealed Carry Firearms Training
Our mission is to allow our students to receive the proper Gun safety training to allow them to receive their Illinois, Utah, and Florida Concealed Firearms Permit (CCW Permit). As an Illinois resident, a Utah Non-Resident CCW Permit will allow the permit holder to carry concealed firearms in 34 states, yes legally!
We are often asked why an Illinois resident should obtain a Out of State concealed carry permit since they can't carry in Illinois. As an Illinois resident, You can carry a concealed firearm in 34 states with only your Utah CCW permit! That's 68% of the United States! This will also work with your Illinois Concealed Carry License now.
We also teach NRA Basic Pistol Shooting Course which maybe be used for the Illinois CCW.
NRA courses stress the Three Fundamentals of Safe Gun Handling & I stress two more
1. ALWAYS keep the gun pointed in a safe direction.
2. ALWAYS keep your finger off the trigger until ready to shoot.
3. ALWAYS keep the gun unloaded until ready to use.
4. ALWAYS be sure of your target and what is behind it.
5. ALWAYS treat all guns as if they are loaded
