Terrific. We hosted a private conceal carry permit class with Brian and it was a perfect blend of conversation, instructional videos, physical presentations and hands-on learning. The curriculum was complete while being interactive and personal. I would highly recommend Brian and Conceal Carry of IL.
Great class. Instructor was thorough, very patient, and fun. The lessons were put together very well and easily digestible. The whole team made the class enjoyable. Highly recommended.
Best firearms class I've ever taken - no BS! Highly recommend these folks.
Awesome class. Instructor was thorough, very patient, fun and easy going. The lessons were put together very well and easily digestible. Highly recommended.
Great class! We had both men and women. Lots of class participation. Instructor was very knowledgeable.
Brian is the best. He did private classes with my wife and me. We have a busy schedule, so he broke it up into multiple sessions. Brian covered the basics, but hammered into us the safety rules, both in theory and then, at the range, in practice. The "concierge" service for CCL fingerprinting and submission at the end is the icing on the cake (he's "got a guy"). If you are on the fence about CCL training because of a lack of skills/knowledge, Brian will distill everything for you and make sure you retain what you need to, not just to pass his own exam and state requirements, but to put it into practice. One of us had more experience than the other (who was brand new), but we both got a ton out of it. My wife was 27/30 on target the first time! But 90% of Brian teaches you is not about shooting. It's about safety, practice and responsibility. Thank you!!! Can't wait for more sessions to build on skills with you.
We had a group of neighbors and family friends (3 women / 2 men) who were interested in getting their CCL’s. I reached out to Brian, (who was referred to me by another one of his clients) and he was able to accommodate our schedule, so we started the course 3 days later, in our own house. Brian arrived on time with all the required information we needed. He certainly is professional and takes the time to explain any and all questions you may have. He has a great sense of humor, as well as, a great knowledge of the curriculum which makes for good learning. He was also able to bring in additional reps who can get you insured through the USCCA and provide all the fingerprinting and state applications. That was worth the price of admission alone. On our final day he spent time with each and every person on the gun range and walked us through every step. He took the anxiety out of the process and made us all feel safe and secure about preserving our 2A rights. I highly recommend Brian for you and your groups. JER
Brian was a fantastic instructor that provided a wealth of information in an engaging and succinct way. For beginners it was imperative that we have a patient instructor willing to accommodate our many questions and insecurities -- Brian went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and informed. I highly recommend Brian and the full two-day course itself.
Brian was our instructor for a semiprivate class in the comfort of our own home. He was thorough and very informative. I felt like I had great training. He was patient and willing to answer any and all questions. I really enjoyed the course and highly recommend Brian.
The instructors are extremely competent and friendly. When you hit the range you already have the resources you need, just aim and hit the target. Take the class, you get what you pay for!
Just took 2 day CCL course. Excellent course. Well worth the money. Thanks to Brian and Dan. Highly recommend the course even if it’s only to learn a lot about skills, the law, safety etc. paul
I found Brian at Conceal Carry of Illinois literally by accident on line . I emailed a few questions and he responded really quick to all my questions. I took the 16 hour course the weekend of 6/6/20 . So happy that I did. Gary was my instructor, he was extremely professional knowledgeable, patient and answered all questions. The class was fun and the 16 hours flew by.. There are many places to chose from, but Brian and his staff are excellent and deserve the 5 star ratings they receive. I am constantly recommending them to anyone interested in getting their conceal carry permit.
Concealed and Carry of Illinois provided a top-notch learning, and training experience. The amount of information and instruction I received was priceless. I was educated on all the proper ways to carry, handle, store and operate a firearm. I strongly recommend Conceal Carry of Illinois over any of the competition offering a similar course. As Peter Parker once said; “With great power comes great responsibility”, and after completing this course with Brian and his staff I definitely have a better understanding of what this quote truly means...
I chose concealed carry of Illinois based on all the 5 star reviews. After completing the course, I decided to add another one myself. Brian is top notch. If you're interested in taking a conceal carry class I highly recommend Brian and his crew. They are very knowledgeable and passionate. They made the class fun and interesting. Thanks concealed carry of illinois.
While I thought about going for my concealed carry permit I was hesitant for many reasons. Finally I made the commitment and blocked out the necessary time. I am so happy I did! Brian Kossof was so professional and an excellent trainer! He really knows his stuff and how to teach it. He made my acquisition of the necessary knowledge and skills as efficient and pleasant as possible. Highly recommend!

I was referred to Brian for my concealed carry license. I could not be more pleased with the total experience. From the initial phone call, all the way through training, Brian truly provided white glove service. His attention to detail, and his ability to train at the pace in which you learn, ensures that you not only gain all the necessary knowledge, but you will also retain that knowledge. I strongly recommend Brian for anyone interested in their concealed carry license, as well as any other firearm training.
From the moment I contacted Brian at Concealed Carry of IL he was very responsive and helpful. He assisted me throughout the entire process of signing up for courses, selecting the right firearm and to other important details. I decided to sign up for a one-on-one class versus the larger class option. It was a great course and time well spent. Brian is exceptionally knowledgeable and experienced on all matters related to CCL and we spend extra time on the range. I highly recommend Brian and his firm.
The course is awesome! The instructor was very clear and very knowledgeable. All the questions were answered and class interaction was very good. I would definitely recommend Concealed Carry of Illinois to others and looking forward to take more classes from CCOI
I highly recommend Brian and his program. After spending a few days with Brian, I’ve really enjoyed the way Brian communicates and engages to teach the material. I truly learned a ton. Brian’s program will give you everything you need to know about firearms whether you plan to carry or not. This is a great use of time and money for anyone who owns or plans to own a firearm. Al
