Plus the Illinois FOID card, $10.

That doesn't count the required 16 hours of training either. That can range from $150 to $300, depending on the frills involved (lunch, range time, rental guns etc.)

It's a de-facto discrimination program against the poor.

But a lot of instructors are cutting their price down to basic costs and, basically, donating their time for some groups.

The more people that have that choice, the better.
