WHO WE ARE
Whether you are seeking real world firearms training for personal defense, a career in law enforcement or you want to learn to be a competitive pistol shooter, we have the experience on staff necessary to provide you with the skills needed to progress and succeed.
​
OUR MISSION​:
​
To ensure that the private citizen will receive quality training, an appreciation and understanding of the legal aspects surrounding the right to own a firearm and the responsibilities that follow including the importance of home safety. Our instructors are current law enforcement professionals and tactical trainers with vast experience in all aspects of firearms training.
​
WE BASE OUR TRAINING ON THREE FUNDAMENTAL PILLARS​:
​
-
Physical and mechanical skills training
-
Psychological response of the human body under stress
-
The rule of law regarding self defense
​
Firearm ownership is not for everyone and the decision to carry, own a firearm should not be entered into lightly. We look forward to working with you to make this the right decision for you and your family.
​
DID YOU KNOW?
The average Chicago police recruit receives 80+ hours of firearms training as well as an
additional 80+ hours weapons retention, defensive tactics and use of force legal training – for good reason.
It is our contention the state mandated 16 hours for concealed carry leaves
the average citizen at a huge disadvantage when it comes to lethal force encounters.
