Do not use this guy. He proceeded to tell me I cannot own a rifle at 19 with an active foid and…read morerefused to give me my shotgun until a lot of back and forth. Didn't even apologize for being wrong and a dick. For someone selling firearms you should know the law and not be a rude idiot but what do I know. To respond to your post, the rifle was a Barrett a300, that is state compliant and the only issue was arrogance and my age. I was already done with my background check and 3day waiting period but thanks OHHH AND ALSO HES A LIAR. I was able to take home the shotgun the next day after he "talked to his buddy to make sure it was legal" and the shotgun is in my name

The weekend Alpha Koncepts concealed carry class was extremely well taught. Thomas is truly an…read moreexpert in his field. He presented the curriculum in a way that made the class flow naturally and kept everyone engaged. He made the material interesting by sharing real-life experiences from both his students and his own life. He also has a great sense of humor, which made the long weekend enjoyable. Thomas thoroughly prepared us with the knowledge necessary to legally conceal and carry in Illinois. He did an excellent job getting us ready for the shooting qualification, including proper holster draws and safe firearm handling. I hadn't shot a firearm in years, and my wife had never shot one before -- yet we both passed. As long as you follow directions and prioritize safety at both the range and in the classroom, anyone can succeed. I researched multiple concealed carry classes in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs, and Alpha Koncepts was by far the highest rated. Thomas has been teaching concealed carry classes since it became legal in Illinois, and his experience shows. If you're serious about taking a concealed carry class, I highly recommend Alpha Koncepts. Thomas is not only a great instructor, but a genuinely great person as well.

Neither of us had been here before, so it was a little risky not knowing the club at all. There was plenty of parking, and we got there early so we'd have time to chat. Kim, the owner, greeted us as we came into the place, and we immediately felt warmly welcomed and excited to be there! Since I had purchased tickets online, Kim had reserved our seats in advance. She walked us back to the event area, which looked clean and inviting (although it was a little bright for my personal preference). Every seat in the place is a good seat; there were essentially 4 "rows" of seats, with 2 people in 1 row sharing a table, and then 2 people directly behind them sharing the same table. Both acts in the show were hilarious: Kristen Toomey and Chelsea Hood. They both interacted with the audience. We had a fantastic time! Oh, they also offer water, soda, popcorn, and M&M peanuts for purchase. We will definitely be back here to enjoy more comedy! I truly hope this place finds success in Glenview and stays a very long time!
