Frequently Asked Questions

Getting Started
Do I need any experience to take a class?
No experience is necessary. We train students of every skill level, from first-time gun owners to experienced shooters. Our certified instructors meet you where you are, and our concealed carry classes provide the firearm, so you can attend even if you do not yet own one.
Where are you located?
Extreme Exigency is located at 9911 River Bend Road, Benton, Illinois 62812. Our Foundation Shooting Park spans 40 acres with seven outdoor ranges.
Do you provide firearms and ammunition for classes?
Firearms are included in our concealed carry classes only. For every other class, participants bring their own firearm. Ammunition is not included in any class, so please plan to bring your own. Check the details of your specific class when you register, or call us at 618-629-3422 if you are not sure what to bring.
How do I get my Illinois Concealed Carry License?
Illinois requires 16 hours of approved training for a new Concealed Carry License. Our Illinois Concealed Carry Weapons Permit course covers the law, safe handling, and the live fire qualification you need. We also offer a 3 hour renewal class for current license holders.
Who teaches your classes?
Our classes are taught by a team of certified firearms instructors, many of whom are active or retired law enforcement officers. You can meet the team and read their backgrounds on our instructor team page.
