Welcome to WISE Firearm Training

We’d love to help you obtain your firearm training! We are passionate about our dedication to safety and quality instruction. We have been providing top notch firearm training to the Quincy, IL area since 2010.

We have a well rounded staff consisting of three instructors. We are all Certified NRA Basic Pistol Instructors, Illinois Concealed Carry Instructors, and Utah Concealed Carry Instructors.  We are also certified to teach NRA Personal Protection In the Home, NRA Personal Protection Outside The Home, and NRA Refuse To Be A Victim.  Between us, we have a retired Chicago police sergeant who spent 30 years on the job with many experiences all the way from the streets to the courtroom, including field training officer and range instructor,  a competitive shooter,  certified range officers, the only lady instructor in Adams County and our lead instructor has been providing quality instruction to this area for over ten years.

We will always cover all the material required by the course and more. We will always follow all the rules and all laws. We spend time furthering our training and keeping on top of the constant changes. When you choose WISE Firearm Training, you will not be disappointed.

We can’t wait to work with you!

Are you looking for a special class? For Ladies Only, for your employees only, for your family, your friends, your co-workers? Let us know, we have always offered personalized courses and are happy to do it.

Our Handgun Fundamentals class and Illinois Concealed Carry class are state certified and taught by NRA and state certified instructors so they will also qualify you for a non-resident  Florida Concealed Weapons permit.

If you haven’t been to our purpose built WISE qualification area, we can’t wait for you to attend your next course and see it. You are going to love the safe, custom set up. When our line is live, we have a maximum of 6 shooters to a minimum of 3 instructors! New shooters work one-on-one with an instructor to ensure a great first experience.

If carrying concealed isn’t your cup of tea, you will still love the Handgun Fundamentals class or perhaps you’re a business owner and just want to learn about the law. We can help you!

Thank you for putting your trust in us,

The WISE Firearm Training Crew

    Join us for our upcoming classes!

    Our next Handgun Fundamentals Class will be held this coming week on Saturday, April 1. Handgun Fundamentals is a wonderful class! It is a stand-alone class and teaches the fundamental skills for owning a handgun (safety, cleaning, grip, aim, stance and much more). This class is super for anyone! New shooters, anyone who shoots or has a handgun in the home. It is also approved as the first 8 hours toward the 16 hours of training required to apply for your Illinois Concealed Carry license. This class is $115. If you pre-register and pre-pay, we offer a discount – two classes for $200 (this can be 2 people in the same class or 1 person in Handgun Fundamentals and 1 person in Illinois Concealed Carry). The minimum number of students we need to hold the class is 6.

    Our Illinois Concealed Carry class is scheduled for Saturday, March 11 (if you've already taken the Handgun Fundamentals class, or are a Veteran). We also have this class scheduled for Saturday, May 6, so you can take the Handgun Fundamentals class as a pre-requisite on April 1. This class is approved as the second 8 hours toward the 16 hours of training required to apply for your Illinois Concealed Carry license. The prerequisite is either our Handgun Fundamentals class, an Honorable Discharge DD214 or a couple of other things that count, so please ask us if you have prior training and we’ll find out if it counts towards the 16 hours. This class is $115. If you pre-register and pre-pay, we offer a discount – two classes for $200 (this can be 2 people in the same class or 1 person in Handgun Fundamentals and 1 person in Illinois Concealed Carry). The minimum number of students we need to hold this class is 6.

    Have you already taken Handgun Fundamentals, but would like a refresh? Contact us about our 'Refresh - Handgun Fundamentals' option - offered with and without range time. What about our Illinois Concealed Carry class - did you take the class, but feel overwhelmed with all of the information and laws? Would you like a refresh? We have a 'Refresh - IL CC' option for this course too - offered with and without range time.

    We also have an Illinois Concealed Carry Renewal class on the schedule: Friday evening, May 5. This class is $60. The minimum number of students we need to hold this class is 10.

    If you already have your license, please read this to make sure you have the proper training you need in order to be able to RENEW, versus RETAKE all 16 hours: Changes made to the special pandemic rules were made sometime around Jan 2022, and as a result, you can not renew your license before you take the training AND if you were able to renew during the special pandemic rules without the training, you will be getting a letter in the mail letting you know that you now need to take the training and upload the certificate within 30-60 days – rather than having 18 months past the end of the pandemic being declared to upload the training. END OF PANDEMIC is scheduled for May 11! We’re asking everyone to check your Illinois Concealed Carry license to see what expiration date you have. If it expired during the pandemic, you are still eligible to take a 3 hour Renewal Course – which costs $60. Prior to the pandemic exception, if your license expired before you applied to renew, you had to start over with the training – which is 16 hours again. We do not know when they will change back to pre-pandemic rules. So, please check. If your permit expired between 2020 and now, OR expires soon, sign up for the Renewal class now so you don’t have to worry about finding one when it’s more of an emergency for you.

    Thank you and please share and tell your friends and family! Our post reach is limited by the lovely algorithms of Facebook, so we really appreciate your likes and shares – they help a few more people see our posts.
