Based in Wheaton, Rush Concealed Carry & Firearms Training is a small but dedicated firearms training company. I run exciting classes for all levels of ability, from first-time beginners to advanced shooters. My belief is in safe, fun, and enjoyable firearms courses that will inform and prepare you to become a responsibly armed American.
I am a Marine Corps Veteran with combat experience. I have and maintain all the certifications for firearms training in Illinois. My certifications are as follows: NRA Certified Basic Pistol Instructor, USCCA Firearms Instructor, and I am certified by the Illinois State Police to teach concealed carry courses.
I believe every person has a right to defend themselves, their loved ones, and their home. You are your family's first responder. I will teach you how to fire, maintain, and safely store a firearm to enforce those beliefs. If you want to become a responsibly armed American please contact me through the "Contact Us" section below.
The class is well designed for someone like me that had no previous experience. Lonnie did an excellent job making sure that I understood new terms and phrases as they came up. He really has a passion for it and is an excellent teacher/trainer. I will definitely recommend him to anyone looking to learn about this field, he knows everything!

Being new to firearms and handling a weapon can be intimidating but working with Lonnie made me feel in control throughout the entire experience. The class size was small and attention was easily given to every question and concern that was brought up. I would highly recommend Lonnie to any first timer or even seasoned vet...

Lonnie's class was very informative. The class was small and I learned some things that I may of knew but had forgotten. He did a great job explaining the changes that have happened since I originally received my permit. He did an excellent job explaining the different levels of force and what that meant in layman’s terms. He answered all of my questions and gave me information who/where to go to search online for even more information. I would recommend his class. He was very knowledgeable and ran the class in a way that made it easy to follow. Thank you, Lonnie!
