My Dad was a LEO in illinois for many years. I am 50 now and since about 13 my Dad has taught me firearm safety , maintenance , and use. He has also told me to many times to count, that if i ever have to use a weapon in self defense .....NO MATTER WHAT...I WILL BE ARRESTED. Having the USCCA, literally in my back pocket, gives me some peace of mind knowing i wouldnt have to go it alone.
