One decided to place an empty magazine into the firearm before closing the box and putting it away. William C. the one to assist me on my purchase had given me an attitude right out the gate and treated me as if I have never purchased a firearm before (especially from Range USA Villa Park). Best part was when I called regarding a status update I was basically told "You'll get a call when it's ready" which is concerning based on my concerns and questions. Do yourself a favor and find a better Firearm store, dealer, and Range. You'll find that other establishments will be more willing to help you.

I took the basic gun course and absolutely loved it! Robin,…read moreher husband Ron, and their range assistant Rob are absolute superstars! The class was not only informative but well laid out. At no time during the 4+ hour classroom presentation did I feel bored. The 2 hour range time was very fun and informative! I learned a lot from the range officer on duty, Ron, and Rob. Their personalized instruction emphasized safety and respect for the firearm but didn't make me uncomfortable at all in handling the gun. I'll be referring Live Fire to friends and co-workers interested in learning how to handle and maintain a firearm and will definitely be back to take the conceal and carry license! Thank you again Robin, Ron, and Ron!

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.

First and foremost, in today's world and during these current times, referrals are about the only…read moreway to survive. It takes very little effort sometimes for one to appreciate good and honest business versus just being quick to write something bad because, well.. most people to complain. I guess I will start with the latter, the way the world is nowadays is truly something to be recognized, it's not about paranoia but rather having your head on a swivel; being acutely aware to situational awareness - something that was taught as one of the key fundamentals in this class. Pew Pew Guru is far more than just a class, and like the owner and our instructor Kevin stated, "it's not how you take the test, everyone tests differently - it's about how you absorb the material as that is what matters." Upon walking into this class, I was promptly and courteously greeted by him as well as fellow colleagues, we took this course to have one goal in mind; to be safe and to know how to use certain tools when applicable and as a final resort. Kevin taught his class in such a way that anyone from novice to expert could easily digest and regurgitate the information with confidence. Pew Pew Guru doesn't just give you a book and in a sense tell you to 'read it' and send you about your way. No. There is a lot of gray area here, it's not all black and white. Kevin brings his prior experience in the Army as well as being an instructor the past few years to the table. His network is vast and his techniques are proven. If certain methods do not work for you in his class, he will work with you to see what may be the better or best way for you to grow. That is his passion and his drive. He understands you signed up for this class and he wants you to understand that he values the reason(s) as to why you did. The class material itself is something you may need to read twice, but again, it's something that everyone in the class puts an interactive team effort into collaborating. When it came to hands on proficiency, Kevin and fellow RSOs will ensure when you leave, you'll be even more confident than when you walked in. They offer various tools to ensure this. If you are even contemplating about a quality CCL/W class whether if you're a first timer or looking to renew, do not hesitate to contact Kevin and his team. Or, if you are looking for a nice deal on certain tools of the trade, he can offer that for you as well. There is no price on personal protection, the materials and knowledge given by Pew Pew Guru are truly invaluable. It is well worth the 8/16 hours that you are here. The bottom line is this - they say knowledge is power, but I say, knowledge and applying it is the truth strength. Kevin and the rest of Pew Pew Guru know just exactly how to make this niche 'industry' right. There are bosses and then there are leaders, Kevin led this entire class and with absolute perfection.

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...

I had taken a few years off from shooting. But I got the itch again and shook off the dust at another range. Recently decided to start shopping for another firearm. I stopped by Maxon's as they had the 3 handguns in stock that I've been considering. While I did not purchase anything, Luis was extremely helpful, and knew his stuff. He was super friendly and patient with me as well. I really appreciated his relaxed, friendly attitude. Something you don't find too often in this scene. Their prices are a little high, but I think the employees make it worth it. I'll be back to use their range, and post an update if there are any issues. Minus 1 star for the price of their CC qualification target. $3. Ouch. The other range I go to in East Dundee sells them for ¢75.

Explained to the owner their website lacks any info that says very specific builds are required to participate.
