[lockman]

The Illinois State Police (ISP) is pleased to announce that the Concealed Carry Licensing application is being opened to currently registered Concealed Carry Instructors (CCI). Effective Wednesday, December 18, 2013, all CCI can electronically apply for a Concealed Carry License (CCL) by clicking on the Concealed Carry link from the ISP website at www.isp.state.il.us. This early release will allow the ISP to test the system and ensure there are no problems prior to the public release on January 5, 2014. To apply, you will be required to include the Transaction Control Number (TCN) you received when fingerprinted as a CCI.

Your TCN is: XXXXXXXXXXXXX

As an early participant, you are being asked to answer the questions below to assist the ISP in meeting the needs of the public. If you have any questions concerning the application process, please call the ISP Firearms Customer Service Line at 217-782-7980. Thank you.

QUESTIONS: Please send responses to the below questions to: CCW_Illinois@isp.state.il.us

1. How many individuals have you trained for the Illinois Concealed Carry Act firearm training requirement to date?

2. How many individuals do you have scheduled for Illinois Concealed Carry Act firearm training up through January 5, 2014?

Non instructors are also able to complete 90% of the aplication process, and they will just have to log in on the 5th, make payment and then they are done.

There was a few that actually recieved their permits today. Mine should arrive in the mail either Monday or Tuesday, since I was approved yesterday, and supposedly mailed.
