I highly recommend this business. Chris is an excellent instructor. He knows the laws, answers the questions and encourages students to reach out after the class with questions or how to navigate the online registration for CCL. Chris is very nice and has a nice sense of humor. Went to the range to qualify and I was very nervous as it has been a while since I went shooting. Chris helped me throughout the whole shooting process, giving me instructions and tips on how to load, check, stand, etc. Absolutely go to HBT. Worth it.

Before I took the conceal and carry class with Ryan I was using Krimson for all my notary needs. I…read morewas very happy with the service and prices, which is why I decided to take the conceal and carry class with them. The class was very detailed. What I liked about it most was the discussions. It wasn't just a presentation of information, we talked, we were able to interactively learn. Even though I had ready tons of information online about IL conceal and carry before the class, I still learned a ton of information. I now feel better prepared to carry in the real world. Beyond that they offer all the fingerprinting and application help the state requires. I give Krimson my highest recommendation for CCL, fingerprinting and notary needs. I even went back to purchase a nylon and patches brush for cleaning the next day.
