The best place in the metro Chicago area to go for Illinois Concealed Carry Training

Defcon-1 Firearms Training is simply the most experienced firearms trainer in the Chicago area. There are a lot of places you could go to get Illinois Concealed or any other firearms training in the Chicago metropolitan area. The decision of where to go can be critically important for both your physical and economic survival. Please choose wisely. There are many who offer training that is not realistic. They just do not have the experience and training to know what is effective and how to teach defensive firearms. At Defcon-1 Chicago, our seasoned staff have the needed practical knowledge because they have been and done. Our training is provided by law enforcement operators (federal, state, and local), and former military . We know what works and what does not.

Are all Illinois Concealed Carry Classes the same?

When it comes to Illinois Concealed Carry training, you get what you pay for! There are things you absolutely need to know to legally and safely conceal carry. Don’t get yourself in trouble with a “crash course” that doesn’t provide you with enough legal, tactical or gun handling knowledge. Our professionally-taught courses take an in-depth look at Illinois’ laws relating to the carrying and use of a deadly weapon or firearm, and develops within the student the knowledge and attitude necessary to undertake the enormous responsibility that comes with carrying a concealed firearm in public.

For over 30 years we have been perfecting the Defcon-1 Training System. This enables us to provide the most straight-forward training in the most compressed time possible. Our goal is to get our students to think ‘outside the box’ by using problem-solving scenarios and simulations of actual encounters.

We have trained thousands of individuals. Every person we train, whether they are first time civilian shooters or experienced operators, is given individual attention and the confidence to achieve a higher level of understanding on how to survive a gunfight. Our former students who have been involved in deadly force encounters have not only survived, but have performed admirably. We hold ourselves to the highest standards because your success is our success.

Our primary mission is to provide the most comprehensive and effective training based on professional real world experience in the law enforcement, military and civilian world. Our training has been adapted to simulate real life encounters on the battlefield, in city streets or in the home. Everything we teach has been tested by those whose very survival depends on implementing the most effective techniques in a deadly force encounter.

This is NOT a ‘gun show class’, nor is it a one-hour ‘rush-you-through’ marathon. Our classes are not commercials for gun manufacturers, nor are they equipment sales pitches. We will not try to sell you firearms, holsters, or ancillary products.

In this comprehensive class, your instructor will take the time to make sure that you feel comfortable with a firearm that you’re likely to carry as a concealed weapons permit holder, and give you the opportunity to get sufficient ‘trigger time’ to gauge your proficiency and correct any potential issues early on. All range tactics are taught FIRST in the classroom in the firearms safety and mechanical operation portions of the program.
