Instructor Mike discusses the proposed Illinois House Bill 3239, which would mandate eight hours of handgun safety training for FOID card applicants. He strongly supports this measure, emphasizing the importance of responsible gun ownership and adequate training, particularly for individuals who may not seek training voluntarily. The discussion also touches on concealed carry reciprocity and the perceived need for more comprehensive firearms education within the community.
New York is reportedly halting the issuance of new concealed carry permits due to the implementation of the Concealed Carry Improvement Act. The act mandates 16 hours of training with 2 hours of range time, but the state has not yet defined the specifics of this program. The Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) and the Superintendent of State Police have until April 1, 2023, to develop and submit the training program for approval, creating a potential de facto moratorium on new permits for at least seven months.
