    NRA Basic Range Officer Safety course 2014
    Andres D.

    This review is based on my most recent experience as an enrolled student of The Gun Doctor's NRA Basic Pistol and Illinois Concealed Carry License course. First and foremost it is your Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms. We protect ourselves, family and loved ones through gun safety and professional training. Since the early 70's and to this day, The Gun Doctor is family-owned and operated as a full service firearms dealer. Also providing in house gunsmithing services such as repair, restoration, refinishing and custom fabrications. When I happen to stumble upon The Gun Doctor's facebook post that they were now offering course training and certificates for the Illinois Concealed Carry I immediately signed up. For the last decade I have been actively working in parts of Chicago's southside neighborhoods that have been featured on the news for shootings and gang violence. Rather then being a statistic I felt as an educated individual to practice my Second Amendment Right with the help of professional instructors and course training via The Gun Doctor. Let me say this first. I have been to many other firearm shops and The Gun Doctor is my favorite. For those who are well invested in this hobby I assure you The Gun Doctor has treated me with kindness and respect as a beginner to this industry. The course instructors (Mike & Joe) are family guys just like anyone else with a massive amount of knowledge. I haven't set foot in a classroom setting since my college days and the 16 hours flew by quickly. The course is NOT about sitting down taking notes while the instructors lecture. They give real life situations backed up by a powerpoint presentation. My favorite part of the course was the hands on questions and group interactions with my fellow classmates. The course atmosphere was family oriented with students ranging from both male and female ages roughly 30 years to 70 years old. The course training broken up into 2 day classes included in the range firing pistols, lectures, safety and body mechanics while carrying. My fellow classmates and I were a real team showing comradery. This was an eye-opening experience into what I imagine soldiers develop in the military with one another. Upon completion of the course we graduated with our NRA Basic Pistol and Conceal Carry Training certificate. I want everyone to understand that Gun Safety is everyones business and proper use is only developed through continued education.

    Great customer service, and quality workmanship. I was able to speak directly to the gunsmith about my stippling needs. The work is very detailed and fine. The turn around time was faster than the online options and more cost effective.

    They were an absolutely fantastic local gun store. I'm not sure what happened to them, one day they…read morewere there and the next, not. I bought all of my firearms through them, and would not mind making all of my future purchases through them if they are still around. I heard Bernadette retired, congratulations to her. I hope this business is still around.

    I purchased a firearm online and selected North American Firearms from their list of FFL's that…read morewere local to me after I sent over a quick email confirming the service and fee. Communications were handled via email and everything went as smooth as it could. Bernadette and Jeff are some of the friendliest people that I've met in this community and I will certainly be doing business with them again in the future. One thing to note - some FFL's will start the waiting period at the time of sale as described by the Illinois State Police as it relates to gun sales and transfers. Some FFL's will start the waiting period as soon as you fill out the Form 4473. It's neither here nor there as to who is doing this correctly but at the end of the day, your FFL policies is what you end up following. North American Firearms starts the clock upon filling out the 4473 so just keep this in mind. Best bet is to make the online purchase, head over to fill out the 4473, and by the time your firearm is received by them your background check should be clear and you're good to go.
