I struggled with operating some of the guns because as part of the class, a variety of guns were rapidly introduced to the class. Then each student would try to operate each of the guns; but because I have small fingers, I was not able to manage all of the guns. The way she spoke to me in front of the whole class, made a scene, was humiliating and unprofessional. I haven't returned to Maxon, would not recommend it.

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.

But all my worries were put to rest the day of delivery. I received a text that they received my shipment, and informed me of their hours of operation for transfers.

The paperwork was quick and easy, and she clearly pointed out everything I had to fill out. Background check only took a few seconds.

I was actually one of his original students, and it's been great to see how consistently professional and dedicated he has remained over the years. He is extremely knowledgeable and does an excellent job explaining not just the legal requirements, but also the practical, real-life situations that responsible concealed carry holders may face. His instruction is clear, informative, and grounded in real-world experience, which makes the classes both engaging and very valuable. If you're looking for a concealed carry instructor who truly understands the responsibility of carrying and takes the time to prepare his students properly, he is an outstanding choice. I'll certainly continue using his services for my renewals in the years ahead.

It was easy to follow along with the instructors and they were open to the many questions asked, whether it was about operation of a firearm or down to the details of the many laws surrounding concealed carry. Steve, Jake, Peter, and Allison were all at the Arlington Heights location both days of class and were all fantastic to speak/work with. They do they're jobs greatly with a smile on their face which sadly isn't so common nowadays. The overall experience was unbelievable and I will continue taking future classes with Condition Yellow.

Our class consisted of people from ALL backgrounds and ages...from novice to experienced and everything in between. Myself being older, highly skilled and experienced, I liked how no question was ever overlooked or undervalued by our instructors vast knowledge from those with less knowledge. The highlight of the 2 day CCL class for me was range qualification. It was relaxed, yet structured and everyone was at ease and safe. As is most things in life, the more you put in...the more you'll get out of the overall experience. Although instructor Don could have droned on and on doing ALL the reading, he wisely chose all the class members to read aloud. This was helpful to the entire class and especially the shy students who would've just sat back letting their classmates carry the class. My experience was quite satisfying and highly productive. Instructors Don and TC are dedicated to teaching students well and it shows in their actions.
