I absolutely loved this class !!! Mike is energetic, REAL, authentic, & very very professional !!!! He is very smart & he knows his stuff !!! I can’t tell you how exciting it was to find an instructor like him !! He has so much prior experience and education that makes him a PERFECT instructor !!! He doesn’t sugar coat and helps us understand with real situations and acting it out for us visual learners !!!! 7.18.21 me & my mom graduated from his class and I expect to have my entire family and friends train with him. !!!

Mike is the man, Mike is a realist and a professional at the same time. He is giving you more than you pay for with the time you’re spending with him. His raw approach to this class helps you prepare more for critical situations. Glad I took his course I highly recommend him and I will be coming back for additional classes. Honestly like mike says this class isn’t enough you need practice. He humbles you enough in the course to realize that and come get more training. Great job Mike see you soon.

This concealed to carry class was very challenging to me. From not every holding a gun before into being able to fire it on my own, and actually hit my target. I am very much pleased with the work Mike has put into teaching his class properly, on not only knowing how to successfully use a firearm to leaving his class and being able to use the firearm successfully knowing when and where and how to use my firearm to be able to fully protect my self when the time has come. This class has been above and beyond helpful to me more than I can explain. I am very thankful for this experience and do recommend this class. 5 plus stars 🌟

Mr. Brown gave a great presentation with real world application. After 1 class I feel more confident and well informed. Looking forward to learning more, if you have sensitive ears... this is not the class for you!If you can put your feelngs to the side, be open to learning...this is the class for you. Shocking language used but this is for a very good reason. BE ON TIME!!!

Mike Brown taught me the most valuable Logical, tactical and safe defense course with life skills as a bogus most beneficial to me and my family in such a time of much crime. I learned so much in 16hrs that the money I paid for the course can’t amount up to the training and knowledge that Mike has taught me. From that I completely understand that I can positively control the environment around me and safely using survival tactics to stay alive in a threatening situation when necessary. I can now feel safe with using the law of weapon to my advantage and also still comply with the law of weapon.

Mike Brown is indubitably competent in the field of law, security, and self-defense. Illustrious and renown, Mike articulates instruction in such a manner that any audience is able to understand. I recommend Mike and Security Concepts to all persons interested in concealed carry and armed/unarmed security.

I truly enjoyed Mike’s teaching methods, as a whole. One of many great things….he’s not going to talk while others are talking. This way, you won’t miss what he’s saying. He’s upfront and not a time waster. I recommend ALL to take at least one of his classes….YOU WON’T REGRET IT!!!!

Review №18

Very professional class and also very detailed. Everything is broken down and explained to the tee without missing a key point. Not an ego feeding class will not tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear and know. All the education you need for firearms is within this class and then some. HIGHLY I MEAN HIGHLEY RECOMMENDED💯- J Harper

The experience was tense and informative! Not enough exposure for the 16 hrs. He is dedicated to you receiving more training at your request... First time at the range he gave me comfort in handling his hand gun! I did extremely well! He is overly priced and he speaks from personal experience! He is the real deal! Thank you Mike 💙

Review №21

I must say Mike Brown’s class was the best! He’s very informative and knows what he’s teaching. He lets you know at the beginning of class to leave your feelings outside the classroom. He’s a Very non judgemental instructor because he rather you correct your mistakes in his classroom rather then the real world do it and for that I appreciate him. If I could give Mike Brown more than 5 stars I would. 🔥money spent was very well worth it

I’ve taken his unarmed course about 3 years ago and I’ve just taken his armed security and concealed carry class and it was even better! Mike is the best and always know how to grab his students attention. People call it “rude” but I call it survival attention! I love it and keep it up Mike!

Review №26

This class was excellent. Mike prepares you for real life situations. He not only teaches you the basics on how to handle a firearm, he also teaches you the correct mindset and the responsibility that comes along with carrying a firearm. He puts you in real life situations that you may never think of occurring. He is a great instructor that actually made learning this information fun. I highly recommend him.

Review №27

Great instructor with a passion for what he does he takes the training seriously and he does know what he doing and talking about. Though I feel he may too passionate at times and it effects his ability to communicate with his students in a professional manner. He will make you nervous by yelling too much yet will tel you not to be nervous. Overall I would recommend him if you want to be properly trained

Review №28

Class was very informative, mind stimulating and overall GOOD. I recommend you having stuff skin to do this class and be willing to listen & learn, also be engaging, if you don’t know ASK, there is no right or wrong question or answer in his class. Mike is amazing, very outspoken and BLUNT. Be prepared to get the knowledge and be willing to want more. 16 hours IS NOT ENOUGH...GO ALL THE WAY WITH IT.

Review №29

Highly recommend taking this class. Aside from being very informative Mike is very direct and takes gun safety extremely serious. Starting off he states to not take anything personal and to keep your feelings outside the classroom. He reiterates his teaching method is not for everyone. His boldness, directness and drill-like approach can be too much for some to handle.

Review №30

This 2 day course was very informative. Within 16 hours Instructor Mike ensured that he went into scenarios and laws that tested your critical thinking and make you aware of the consequences that follow your actions, especially within the law. He covered and demonstrated the proper way to hold the firearm. It was exciting and informative. Learning never has been so fun. Thank you.

When a community cries for help nobody is there to help and you cant seem to find that one superhero that can save you from yourself. Here is your chance to find one who is that person, you cannot put enough high praise to this man who gives more value than what he takes in 16hrs. I guarantee you will leave wanting to get your $H!t together understanding this is not my the end I have value in this world despite your history, this does not have to be my story.

This is the class you NEED to take you want your CCL. Mike Brown is the absolute best. His military background (which made me feel right at home), his police background and overall life experience all makes for an amazing instructor. He will not hold your hand or take it easy on you, and you shouldnt want that because having a gun is serious and lifes are at stake. if anyone says anything bad about him its because they wanted a barney type instructor. Great class, great life experience. Also, my son loved his book. If I could take this class every week I would. Take this class.S. Brown

Mike Browns CCW course is well recommended to anyone considering a concealed carry permit. Instructor Mike is an engaging teacher and utilizes his law enforcement and military backgrounds to present the responsibilities of a CCW holder as well as how one should react in real-life confrontations. Experienced and new firearm users alike will be comfortable in this course.

Instructor Mike Brown is the best Instructor to train you in Firearms and defense. He will teach you everything you will need to know to get you started on the road to being a responsible firearm owner.

Review №57

I have followed Mike on social media for a while and I loved his HONEST, CONCISE AND INFORMATIVE way of teaching.The most important take away for me was the conflict resolution aspect of his lecture. Mike encourages ASSESSING solutions before engaging w your firearm. The self control aspect hits home for me as well because often ppl’s responses escalates the situation. Mike don’t encourages knowledge being a power that most of ppl(especially AA) don’t know how to use or even know it’s a source of power.In short, I will be signing up for his one -on-one classes as well

Mike Brown Concealed to Carry class was educational and Interactive. I learned a great deal about firearms, conceal to carry gun laws, and so much more! Mike Brown is a master at his craft but was humorous at the same time. I would recommend his services to others, and I plan to take his one-on-one training course in the very near future!

Review №82

5/5!! This class was way beyond what I expected! I feel so much more knowledgeable and even more refreshed on things that I already knew about life, myself, my community, and firearms! Mike Brown was so relatable to real life circumstances and his scenarios were on point to real life situations. He even had several unfortunate current and past events that happened involving firearms and where the outcome could have been different. I leave here today not prepared to shoot a firearm but prepared to be more aware of myself and avoiding to use my firearm because every “threat” that you feel, it is not necessary that your firearm needs to be drawn instead safety is first and it can be avoided. You do not want to find yourself in a situation that could have been avoided. Thank you so much Mike Brown. I look forward to training with you again.

Review №86

Mike Brown is indeed, the best firearms instructor in the state of Illinois. This is the second time I’ve taken one of his courses and I’ve learned more than I expected each time. He goes out of his way to touch on subjects and aspects of the criminal justice system that is not required to teach, but he does so so that it enhances his student’s knowledge of the CJS system and their responsibility as a gun owner/carrier in the state of Illinois.If you want the sugar coated version (the easy teaching) this class is NOT for you. Yet, if you can put your emotions to the side and let the lessons just sizzle on your mind, and make yourself THINK, it’s perfect for you.16 hours is not enough time to teach you how to be the best at defending yourself, but this is the perfect foundation.
