Illinois
Illinois requires firearms instructors to be licensed by the Illinois Department of Financial Professional Regulation (IDFPR). Firearm instructors’ registrations renew for five years.
In July 2013, Illinois lawmakers passed the Firearm Concealed Carry Act, making Illinois the last state to allow the carrying of concealed guns in public.
To register as a Concealed Carry Firearms Instructor, the Illinois State Police (ISP) will establish administrative rules consistent with the Firearm Concealed Carry Act.
