However, at Illinois Tactical Academy, we don't like to present the bare minimum.  We like to go above and beyond what is required by statute in order to give you the skills and tools that will give you the leg-up, should a situation present itself and you are forced to defend yourself or another.  The 2 day class will be taught by former Police Officers.  (Who better to tell you how to carry a firearm than people that have done it 24/7)
