It is a designation that took a lot of hard work and dedication to attain.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE:<\/strong> Colleen emailed with a correction to this story. I had Colleen as the first civilian certified to teach the Chicago Firearm Permit class. She corrects this to be the first civilian living in Chicago &#8211; in other words a Chicagoan &#8211; to be certified. Colleen notes that ISRA instructors Richard Pearson, Doug Mayhall, and Lee Goharing are all civilians but live outside the City of Chicago.<\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Colleen Lawson, one of the plaintiffs in McDonald et al v.
