Thanks Count.
Yeah I'm fully expecting my license application to go to committee. I have a history of being outspoken (and was, once upon a time, listed as armed and dangerous with the state police due to political group affiliations.)
I have a lawyer on retainer already.
(My local Sheriff and I get along fine, but the law gives ANY law enforcement agency 30 days to object.. so I'm sure one of them will see my name and pipe up. "Hey isn't that guy...")

Trent; Shouldn't that be "armed and outspoken" LOL.
15 years ago in Illinois, that was the same thing as armed and dangerous.
I did a speech on the courthouse steps about our right to self defense. The local cops brought in a swat team from Springfield.. cleared out adjacent businesses to put snipers in the upstairs windows.. bought ALL of the courthouse employees body armor.
(I told the Sheriff and States Attorney I was planning to do a peaceful protest with a loaded firearm and speech on the courthouse steps.. I was prepared to take the misdemeanor conviction... they went nuts.)
The morning before the speech was to occur, I met with the States Attorney and Sheriff, who pointed out a state law to me that would escalate it to a Felony if I brought a loaded firearm on to courthouse property without permission. I tried to get them to allow a firearm with the bolt out, which would only be a misdemeanor.
No go either, since I was wearing body armor, any misdemeanor would have also brought a felony conviction. (And with snipers in the windows and tactical SWAT dudes on every corner for 3 blocks, all with itchy trigger fingers, I wasn't about to NOT wear body armor.)
So my speech had some last minute modifications. The news stations were all there with cameras to watch me get arrested. But I got to disappoint them all with my "I'm armed and dangerous; with dangerous THOUGHTS the state doesn't want you to hear!" speech.
The crazy thing is I was already listed as armed and dangerous BEFORE this event happened.
Two weeks prior to that, Knox county sheriffs deputies shut down interstate 74 during a traffic stop of me and my red Camaro Z28, brought in SWAT, sent news crews packing... for my previous political affiliations.
But that's a story for another day.
(I was much more... umm.. outspoken? In my 20's.)
(Assuming you are a certified instructor)
Select your name from the list, and enter the CCT # the state police issued you for being an instructor.
You also have to take a digital pic of your letter from the state police so you have something to upload for the certificate; it won't let you proceed without uploading SOMETHING.
They didn't tell instructors WHAT to send, so I sent them a copy of the letter they sent me.
I am not an instructor. I was just pushing along as an applicant since we are allowed to register before the application goes live. My instructor was notified just to clarify their cct # because it is easy to mistake due to handwriting and alphanumeric code. My instructor is having a different set of issues.
I was able to upload a copy of my certificate. The more I can get done now the less strain it will be one everyone later.
