The Bullet Trap

The Bullet Trap handles Illinois concealed carry licensing from start to finish. They're located at 279 N Front Street in Macon and operate as an ISP-approved training facility.

Illinois law requires 16 hours of classroom instruction plus live fire qualification. The Bullet Trap splits this into two 8-hour classes:

1. Basic Pistol Safety Class (BPSC) — 8 hours using SIRT laser training guns 2. Concealed Carry Class (CCC) — 8 hours with live fire qualification

All range time happens during the first 2 hours of class. You'll shoot:

• •10 rounds each at 5, 7, and 10 yards
• •B-27 silhouette target
• •70% passing score required

They take this seriously. If you don't meet safe handling standards, proper gun control, or the 70% score, they'll refund your class and recommend additional training. They want you successful on your first attempt, especially if you haven't fired in years.
