The Lake County Sheriff’s Office was informed that a concealed carry instructor, who was properly licensed, had been offering what he called “fast track classes,” said Lake County Sheriff’s Office Capt. Ron Walters. “He wasn’t even sending them to the range,” Walters said. The Sheriff’s Office investigated the instructor’s activities during the last two years and learned that he handed out more than 170 completion certificates, which the students then used to obtain a concealed carry license, Walters said.
The instructor, whose name is not being released as he has not yet been charged, instructed residents across the county, often making house calls and handing out completion certificates. These certificates were then used to obtain CCW licenses, Walters said.
All of the students have been contacted, told that their licenses are invalid and instructed to retake the training courses.
The agency has seen some cases in the past of instructors trying to cut corners, but “nothing that got this blatant,” Walters said.
