Illinois State representatives Charlie Meier and Dwight Kay will host a concealed carry public seminar Monday at the American Legion Hall in Troy.
The “What You Need to Know About Concealed Carry” seminar will educate attendees on qualifications to obtain a concealed carry license, where concealed carry is prohibited, training requirements, application fees and implementation timelines.
Illinois, in July, became the last state in the union to allow concealed weapons to be carried legally. The Illinois State Police began accepting concealed carry applications on its website on Jan. 5. (Related story: Illinois concealed carry permit applications accepted starting Sunday)
The program begins at 6:30 p.m. at the American Legion Hall, 104 North Main St., Troy.
