Coordinating and completing the federally mandated yearly “firearm qualification” and issuance of the IROCC card is the only function statutorily granted the Illinois Retired Officer Concealed Carry program by federal law.
We do not offer legal opinions or attempt to clarify information of these Federal Statues.
