I have taken classes through this family. They are NRA Certified Instructors. Debbie schedules all of the classes and her husband Peter and son Michael are the primary and secondary instructors. If I recall correctly Peter has retired from two police departments ( New Orleans & Chicago ) and I believe that Michael is LE in Chicago. Nice People!!!

They hold classes at a range in Bristol

Just spoke with Debbie...

From what I understood... They offer 3 levels of training... all with about 2 or 3 students per instuctor... They are based in IL.

Basic to qualify for permit @ $130.00

She was REAL persistant on pushing the other two levels (covers legal ramifications, advanced trainning, etc., etc.,)

I did provide my e-mail address for more info but also had to make it clear (interupt her sales pictch) that I was only interested in trainning to obtain the permit and I coudl do that with a DNR Hunter Saftey Course...

I think she also said something about weekend only classes but I could be wrong on that.

Edited to add;

For now I am going to wait and see what Calicojack can work out as far as comming to S.E. WI to offer his classes... or worst case senario, if he cannot make it, I will take a DNR hunter safety course.

But but but... the permit is only supposed to cost $50. What's the big deal with a permit system?



If we can't get CJack down here, and I see no reason why not, I say we get a crew and head up there. There are several instructors here in Wisco too. None of which have any history with the Chicago or New Orleans Police. Don't get me wrong. I'm sure this family is wonderful. Everyone deserves to make a living... but I fled IL for a reason.

You can do the WI hunters safety course via CDrom and internet, just one field day at the end for 2 tests. I wouldn't normally recommend that to a new guy but I think for any of the old hands that just need a permit it's the easiest way to do it.

Agreed.... And the Hunter Saftey Course would be ONLY to obtain the permit and in NO WAY be considered a substitue for REAL handgun trainning....

Only five counties currently are listed with the CD/ROM Internet option, and three of those are this weekend.

I would suspect that once things are signed and the word gets out that many of the traditional Hunter Safety classes will book up early. I think most people will have to look for alternative training.

I also suspect there will soon be a lot of, shall we say, entrepeneurs (sp?) appearing out of nowhere offering up classes that may or may not qualify.

I'm not sure what part of the state you're in , but they do offer classes on all day Sat & Suns as a two day class for $10.

The way things sound practically any type of "trainnig" will qualify. Particapant in a competion shoot, Out dated Hunter Saftey Certificate, etc. etc..

July 4th is coming up..maybe I go go to my local July 4th festivities and win a stuffed animal at one of the shooting games. Just send the stuffed animal along with the application and I would be good to go..

Ok..sarcasum at the mentality of the permit requirerment off....

Too old and fat. They won't take me. I have thousands of hours on Call of Duty (XBox Live) though. That should count for something. Wonder if I can get a certificate from Bill Gates and Microsoft...
