Instructor Mike clarifies the distinct purposes of an Illinois Firearm Owner's Identification (FOID) card and a Concealed Carry License (CCL). The FOID card permits the purchase and possession of firearms and ammunition on one's own property or with explicit permission on another's property. It does not authorize carrying firearms in public. The CCL, conversely, allows for carrying a firearm on one's person in a concealed manner in legally authorized public spaces.
Instructor Mike explains the process and reasons behind Illinois Concealed Carry Instructor status revocations. He details that revocation can occur due to the loss of an instructor's FOID or CCL, or if their training curriculum is found to be non-compliant with the Concealed Carry Act. The video also outlines the updated Illinois State Police policy offering a 60-day grace period for students to obtain new training when an instructor's status is revoked for curriculum issues, preventing automatic license revocation for the student.
