Shipman CCL Instructor Arrested For Faking CCL Licenses & Forgery

The Illinois State Police Firearms Services Bureau Investigative Support Unit along with the Macoupin County State’s Attorney’s Office have filed charges against a Shipman woman for forgery and providing false Conceal Carry Weapon Certification.

 

60 year old Terry Lumma, a former CCL instructor, was charged after a complaint was filed in December of 2020. The complaint stated Lumma was not teaching the CCL classes and after a five-month investigation, investigators from the Firearms Services Bureau found evidence to support the allegations of the complaints.  

 

Training certificates for over 200 students were deemed to be invalid after the investigation was conducted. All of these students were sent letters notifying them of their status and are being provided a grace period of 60 days from receipt of the letter to complete the requirements for a new valid CCL. During that time the CCL holder will be considered valid and in good standing.  For more information on what to do if this has affected you, please visit www.ispfsb.com. 

 

Lumma was mailed a notice to appear and is set to appear at the Macoupin County Courthouse on June 23rd, 2021 at 8:45 AM. ISP Director Brendan F. Kelly says, “The Illinois State Police takes these types of allegations seriously and will investigate those who attempt to defraud the system and bring them to justice. The men and women of the Illinois State Police, Firearms Services Bureau, continuously strive to protect and maintain the integrity of the FOID and CCL.”
