This was honestly the best security-related course I've taken in Chicago…read more Excellent team, outstanding scripts, information, and practical exercises.

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.

I am not a gun person. I will probably never be a gun person. I'm not necessarily opposed to them,…read morejust totally disinterested. The likelihood of me ever owning a gun is pretty slim, and the likelihood of me ever carrying concealed is even more slim. However my almost husband is a gun person, and as a result, I now live with guns. Since I'm going to be living with guns, I decided that I should at least know how to use them somewhat competently. So I signed up. I took their women's seminar which was a combination of the NRA Basic Pistol course and the Illinois conceal carry course. The class was taught by Christa, and she addressed some issues specific to women. Both Mikes were also present to help with some demo and hands on stuff. The class was a nice mix of lecture, discussion and hands on. We got to handle dummy ammunition, a variety guns, and holsters in class. We learned grip and stance in the classroom before we ever got to the range. After the classroom sessions alone, I felt confident that I could competently handle any of the guns in my house. We haven't done the range time yet, but they rent private space at Article II in Lombard which allows for more personal instruction. The staff is extremely friendly, professional, and knowledgeable. I don't think the was a single question asked they couldn't answer. The classroom space is also really nice and very professional. The classes are held in an actual office space, rather than someone's house. All in all, I would highly recommend Proton Training for anyone looking for a conceal carry course or basic firearms courses. You won't be disappointed!
