Creative Concealed Carry

Creative Concealed Carry provides the state-mandated training courses Illinois residents need to obtain their concealed carry license (CCL). Their mission focuses on public safety through situational awareness and practical personal and home protection planning.

The company runs two-day weekend courses (Saturday & Sunday) plus weekday options at multiple locations across Illinois:

• •Chicago - Classes run every weekend
• •Decatur
• •Springfield
• •Zion
• •Villa Park
• •Dudley's College - Monday sessions available

• •State-required concealed carry instruction
• •Situational awareness training
• •Personal and home protection planning
• •Range time is mandatory and must be completed during class (you provide transportation)
• •Certificate of completion for CCL application

Every five years, Illinois CCL holders must renew their license. Creative Concealed Carry offers a streamlined 3-hour renewal class to meet this requirement.

Before Class: - Bring a state-issued ID - FOID card is NOT required to take the class - Bring lunch if you prefer

Payment: - Online payment available through their website - In-person payment accepted (fee doubles) - Transfers to another person allowed if you can't attend

Range Requirements: Range qualification can only be completed during the scheduled class—self-directed range time doesn't count toward certification.

Creative Concealed Carry's approach combines legal compliance with practical self-defense training, ensuring students understand both the "why" and "how" of responsible carry.
