Jason is a an incredible teacher. He made an 8 class with a lot of information not seem boring. During the concealed carry portion he made sure everybody was comfortable during their test even if they had never shot a gun before. Highly recommend choosing jason, and critical decision for any fire arm classes.

Jason is a great instructor who explains things in a very simple way. He gets a lot of information in effectively without the class feeling as if its dragging on. When it came to the conceal carry material he provided simple explanations and discussions with real life examples. I plan to keep my eye out for some of the advanced classes they offer.

The concealed carry class I just took through them with Jason was properly informative and enjoyable enough to make the two 8hr days pass rather swiftly. He provided many resources for further info or product recommendations that were greatly appreciated given the amount of knowledge I knew to be behind them.10/10 I would very much recommend employing Critical Decision for the firearms training that you may be in search of!

Enjoyed the class! Very informative. Jason was great at helping us understand the laws and simplifying personal decision making based on circumstances. Thanks Jason.

I took the 16 hour Basic Pistol/Conceal Carry Courseand I would highly recommend this class. The class was very informative. The instructor, Jason Bragg, was excellent. The class definitely increased my confidence. If you are looking for a conceal and carry class you will not be disappointed with Critical Decision!

I recently completed the 16 hour concealed carry course given by Jason Bragg. This man is awesome. He really knows his stuff and I would recommend the course to all. Safe and comfortable setting. Very informative. Keep up the great work 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Great Concealed Carry Class! Starts right from the basics and go through all of the consequences! Jason Bragg worked quite a few first time shooters as well and helped them be confident in their skill as well as accuracy! Great class and would highly recommend for all people looking to learn more about Gun Safety and Carry Options.

I went from never seeing a gun in my life, to 16 hours later being able to shoot accurately a target and pass the conceal carry class! The instructor was extremely patient, knowledgeable, and helpful in order to make sure all students in the class were able to pass! Excellent experience! Highly recommended!

I enrolled in the 16 hour CCW class as a brand new shooter, mostly just to get a feel for firearms. I was really nervous going in, but the Instructor Jason was so informative and thorough that by the time we got to the range on day 2, I felt a lot more confident! We had people of all skill levels in our class and everybody was super supportive. Dont hesitate to take this class, especially if youre on the fence because you dont think you have enough experience! Thank you so much, Jason!

Took the Concealed Weapon Basic Pistol Training 2 day course on 09/12 and 9/13.Jason is awesome. If you have never shot a handgun in your life be prepared for a life changing experience.Jason presented his class in such an effective manner that all your questions of what if will be answered I recommend this class for any level of shooter looking to obtain their IL Conceal Carry Licenses.

The best damn instructor Jason Bragg Best 16 hour class I ever took and I’m going to refer friends and family

I took this class this past weekend, after my mother took it. My mother was so excited after taking this class it motivated me. I was able to get five of my family members to join who were all women. Jason the instructor was a phenomenal teacher. I was very nervous as to what I was going to learn as well as actually holding a gun. Jason was so patient and kind while instructing me on the proper way to hold, aim, and shoot a gun. I’m so glad that I took this class and most definitely will refer others to this amazing class. I had some fears as being a woman and handling a gun ,but when I left I felt like I was apart of Charlie’s Angels. Go and sign up for a class with Critical Decision. You will be informed and empowered after taking this class.

I took the Concealed Carry Class at Critical Decision on 9/26 and 9/27/2020. The instructor Jason is very knowledgeable and experienced in all areas relating to handguns and concealed carry. The classes are very comprehensive and cover every aspects relating to handgun, safety, how to use, legal issues, and practices. People with various background on handguns and concealed carry can get benefited from the excellent classes. I highly recommend it to anyone who plan to apply for a concealed carry license.

Jason is extremely knowledgeable and puts on a great class. I highly recommend Critical Decision for your firearms training needs.

Jason was an incredible teacher. The setting was safe, and the people were diverse and kind. The hours flew by, and I learned a lot. I would recommend this for anyone looking to get their concealed carry license.

I wanted to get more comfortable as well as educated about my rights and rules for conceal and carry. I attended a Critical Decision class with Mr. Bragg and his class and instruction made me feel more adequate in my firearm laws and handling. I would recommend this to anyone. Very informative, professional and thorough.

Great class, very detailed and several “AH HA” moments. Jason made this very understandable. If it’s been a bucket list item, I suggest you finally “pull the trigger “.Rodger Long

Given the recent events and with concern for the safety of myself and family, plus an uncertain political horizon finally pushed me to sign up. After investigating several companies and reading online reviews, I chose Critical Decision. I was very surprised at the attendees of the class. From those who have never held a fire arm to experienced enthusiasts. Jason Bragg made the class very enjoyable, mixing his knowledge and experiences with the required course materials. I highly recommend this class to everyone!

Completed the CCL course this past weekend and was extremely satisficed with Jason. As a moderate shooter I can appreciate the way he handled novice shooters and stressed safety and made them feel at ease. Great information presented and in a way that kept the class focused and engaged. Will look at more training from CD as I progress. Thanks Jason!

Time well spent for anyone serious about getting conceal carry. Jason has the patience, expertise and resources required!

GREAT TRAINER AND GREAT COURSE HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Jason was an outstanding instructor with a great attitude. You can certainly tell he has a great passion for what he does and teaches. One of the best. Highly recommend!!!

As someone who had never shot or handle a pistol, I was nervous to take the class. Since the first day, Jason was very welcoming and friendly. He takes a lot of pride in what he does and truly shows passion for the things he talks about. I am now confident in my skills and feel more than competent in my ability to, not only protect myself, but also be able to protect those around me. I suggest you take his class whether you have never handle a pistol or if you are looking for more training. I guarantee you that no matter what skill level that you are on, guys and girls of all ages. Jason and his staff will teach you something you never thought you needed to learn. He goes above and beyond to teach you the laws, scenarios, and beyond what is required of him. After the class I doubt you will have any questions, but he also shows you how to answer future questions you might have on your own.

Great experience and gained great knowledge from the Conceal Carry class I look foward to the future classes mentioned as I will be back Jason is a great instructor and has alot of patience on answering and explaining any questions asked highly recommend!!!

Best 16 hour basic pistol /CCW class in the area. The training goes well beyond the minimum state requirements. Jason and his instructors are top notch.

Excellent Class, very informative, Great Instructor ( Jason Bragg ), I highly recommend Critical Decision CCL Classes to everyone who wants to get their CCL or needs to renew their CCL.Jason Bragg is the owner and one of the instructors at Critical Decision.Just be safe, protect yourself, and others by practicing safe distancing, good hygiene, and wear a face mask. Corona Virus is very dangerous, very contagious, and is still spreading.

Just finished my 16 hour Concealed Carry Course hosted and taught by the best in the business, Jason Bragg. Couldnt be happier with my investment of time and money, well worth every penny. Cant wait to sign up for some more Advanced classes once I get a little more range time under my belt..Thanks Critical Decision

We had a wonderful experience at Critical Decision! Outstanding, relatable instruction for every level of experience in the class. Highly recommend!

I just completed my 16 hour course with Jason Bragg this past weekend and I could not be more satisfied. Jason made it very easy,fun and safe to learn about the basic of firearms and concealed carry . We all had questions and Jason had the answers. He also helped so that we could answers certain questions on our own. I thought I had a good understanding of the basic of firearms already but sure enough Jason taught me more and I am very grateful. My shot has always been decent but within a few minute of quicks tips my shot had already improved. I encourage anyone and everyone to take this class it is a very comfortable environment and the knowledge you will receive is golden.Sincerely,Jack Sparrow (inside joke) take the class and ask about it

Just took one of their classes. Jason was a great instructor. He made the class fun and informative. When at the range Jason and Hebe were patient and helpful. The techniques I learned from them will make me a better shooter. Check out their classes you will not be disappointed.

I found the 3 hr class informative, insightful and paced very well. Jason Bragg did an exceptional job of leading the class and range sessions. I highly recommend this class!

Jason Bragg the owner of Critical Decision made 16 hours of weekend time worth spending in his class room. I took the IL Concealed Carry Class and the Basic Pistol training Class. You will learn more information about basic hand gun safety and IL hand gun law then you ever thought you would know . I recommend Critical Decision for all your training needs.

This service is first rate. you learn all you need to know. in addition you learn information decade s long firearms people like me should have known. very good.

From my dad, Joe: Renewing my license with Critical Decision was an easy and great experience from beginning to end. I will definitely recommend to anyone needing to get or renew their CCL to use them! Thanks again guys!

Very nice guy and well knowleged in the laws of being a ccw permit highly recommend for other people..

Very informative classes Jason the instructor is very helpful I highly recommend this company.

Jason our instructor was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure everybodys questions were answered without judgement. Also, since Jason is a member of law enforcement he was able to provide extremely helpful and invaluable advice and information. Great class and highly recommend.

Boy oh boy! I have not touched a firearm, they scare me. This weekend that all changed thanks to Jason Bragg. I was taught all the dos and donts of firearms. It was extremely informative & helpful. The class itself was very open, never once did I feel my questions would be ridiculed. The first shot hand me stunned but the range coaching and the encouragement from Bragg made me feel like, Hey I can do this! I recommend this class and instructor a thousand times over! Thank you Bragg and Critical Decision as a whole!

Husband and I took the 16 hour course taught by Mr. Bragg. We both had a little anxiety before the class. One more so than the other (not me)😂. Anyway, we learned so much the first day we were mentally exhausted. The class was taught with much patience. There was even some laughter which made the day even better. By the 2nd day we were more comfortable. Needless to say I beat my husband at the range. #livestock

Jason, Hebe and Nick are incredibly knowledgeable individuals who can help guide and train all wakes of firearms owners in how to properly handle and carry a firearm. I would highly recommend their class to anyone wanting to learn more about firearm ownership as well as the responsibilities and laws that come with carrying a concealed weapon.

Jason was a great instructor and I would recommend his class to anyone looking to get their CCW.

I highly recommend Critical Decision with instructor Jason Bragg. Even though I have shot a variety of guns from pistol to rifle, I went to this class with little confidence. During class he was very patient answering questions and being very detailed when explaining. He made the class fun. I know some people may think, oh God 16 hours of class. Really folks with him it dont seem like 16 hours LOL. Ton of knowledge here that I never had a clue about. The range day was better. Again, I went in not confident at all. My shot was going to the wrong area and within 5 mins. he had me shooting in the area I was supposed to be. I left with a better shot, a ton of confidence and knowledge. Jason, thank you for being such a great instructor with amazing knowledge. You will not be disappointed with Critical Decision. I highly recommend them for this this.Stephanie Havelka

I just took my 16 hour ccw course with my wife and it was excellent! I wasnt sure how the information was goin to come accross or if we were going to leave having more questions than we walked in with but I couldnt be happier with the way Jason Bragg taught the class and how in depth he went in order to make sure that everyone in the class understood what he was teaching. This was the first firearms course that my wife and i had taken and the knowledge the both of us came away with is worth way more than critical decision charges! I will be recommending this course to all my friends! My wife and i will be attending more classes put on by Jason bragg and the rest of critical decision!

Great instructors. Just took my 16 hour ccw class.
