In light of what's happening around the country, I thought everyone must learn how to protect…read morethemselves. The last time I went to a range was ten years ago with my gun enthused friends. I decided it's time to learn gun handling properly. Marty was recommended by a good friend of mine. He was very personable and thorough. Using various videos and hands-on techniques, I learned State and Federal laws, carrying, transporting, and storage related to gun ownership as well as handling a weapon. A live-fire qualification at a range is required to earn the Concealed Carry Firearm Training Certificate. In addition to concealed and carry course, Marty also offers CCL renewal classes. Locations vary as he tries to accommodate a group of people at the same time. Anyone interested in firearm training, I highly recommend Marty!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!! He made getting my firearm so easy! This was my first firearm purchase so I did…read morenot fully understand how it worked. I thought when you buy a firearm online or out of the state they just ship it to your home...lol! NOT! It goes through a third party who receive the firearm, help you fill out the paperwork, run your background and eventually once all is clear hand you your new baby of protection. John and his wife were super helpful, knowledgeable and very kind. They keep you updated and informed every step of the way. The process was easy (outside of waiting extra time for my background to clear, which was no fault from them that's just slow ass Illinois State Police) and affordable ($40 cash). I will most definitely use them again.

I am a new gun buyer and he took the time to explain the process, and not make me feel stupid or embarrassed when I asked questions. His prices are more than fair given all of the price gouging that is going on right now. I won't go anywhere else when buying guns online in the future. Great job John! Clay

This was my first firearm training class and it was for a CCL. The owners were very friendly,…read moreknowledgable, and professional. They are a new business so they don't have a lot of reviews and I was hesitant to sign up, but they were the only ones who weren't booked months in advance in my area. And it was an unbeatably low price. So glad I went! They were always making sure we weren't left with any questions on the material. We did in class demonstrations and went to the shooting range as part of our certification. And being a new business there were 4 of us in the class. Some people take classes with as many as 40 people so it was amazing to have such a great instruct to student ratio. Definitely recommend!

I've worked on/off in the security industry as armed officer since 1998 and lived in many states....I've relocated nearly every year due to career. Although I'm highly experienced and knowledgeable of firearms, it's very important to go through trainings like this to know about the state's laws, etc. I've lived in many states and they all have very different laws.

The selection here is amazing - they have everything from Riot Shields to AR-15's - seriously a cool place to come check out if you are security, law enforcement or a GSF member. All the prices are very reasonable and much better than your average gun shop, and all of the employees are much more knowledgeable and friendlier than your average gun shop. Totally recommend a visit here - total professionals.

Hi my name is qiana i posted a review regarding this establishment a year ago frustrated and…read moreconfused i gave a negative rating not knowing the process that it takes to get a conceal and carry in the state of Illinois. I wld like to share my update. First ill like to apologize to the owner Julio. My ignorance made me write the review what i didnt knw that i knw now is that Illinois has been over loaded with new applications and that for that reason its been a delay on reviewing applications. Not only is it time consuming but Illinois just don't have the man power to keep up with all the new applications. So the process can take a long time! Also with my application i switched addresses. When filling your conceal everything must match if not it will be rejected and sent back . Julio immediately reached out to me and he he took ownership and made my application a main priority. When new information came about he wld inform me and he wld reach out. I will not say the process was short . It was extremely long and u are kept in limbo with the state.. But i have my conceal to carry To present day!! Julio worked to find HARD to find my processing error the state never told me why my application was rejected... It was Julio that found the error and made the necessary corrections.. After i got my License Julio assisted me to apply for the remaining states ... I feel bad that i went to social media and slander this buissnes on my ignorance. I just hope as others seek this place and review my commentary that people will see its not about what happen but what was done in the service recovery that makes the real difference!. I just want to give a warm shot out to Gemini for staying on top of things! u earned my business and ill definitely send u more !! FOR GREAT DEALS AND GUN EDUCATION OR TO PURCHASE FIRE ARMS Or find out about gun laws I HIGHLY RECOMMEND U GUYS TRY GEMINI AND ASK FOR JULIO tell em Q send U...

Having them come to…read moremy house was a huge benefit, as all of the classes offered in my area are only on the weekends. The 16 hours class was spread over 2 days. Jerome and his training partner were VERY knowledgable of the complicated laws surrounding Illinois' concealed carry law.

I highly recommend Standard Force to anyone needing a firearm instructor that will work with your busy schedule.
