OCC Firearm Training Center

OCC Firearm Training Center has been the go-to for firearms instruction in Kankakee County since 1995. Their mission is straightforward: teach the proper use of firearms through structured, hands-on training.

Their team includes: - IL State Police Certified instructors for concealed carry licensing - USA Shooting Level-3 Olympic Coaches in rifle and pistol - NRA Chief Range Safety Officers and training counselors - 4-H Rifle and Pistol Instructors - Female instructor specializing in training women shooters

Illinois requires 16 hours of training to apply for a concealed carry license. OCC breaks this into: - 8 hours - Basic Pistol with live fire qualification - 8 hours - Legal and practical information

They also handle CCL renewals (3-hour refresher + requalification) and assist with Illinois State Police online applications.
