Firearm training warnings and contact listings in Illinois
A Southern Illinoisan note cautions readers about selecting qualified instructors for defensive and concealed carry training. It lists Heartland Training Team, Trooper Trained LLC, and Tombstone Gun Range as contact options, with warnings against unverified certificates and promises of meeting Illinois carry permit requirements. The piece stresses safety, de escalation, and that training aims to teach safe handling rather than issuing permits. It notes Illinois carry law uncertainties and reciprocity questions amid legislative delays. The author, Mark Fitton, is identified as managing editor and NRA instructor.
