- Firearms Safety Academy, Inc. located in Yorkville, IL is a privately, veteran owned and operated company. We are not a fly by night operation looking for quick buck. We are not looking to pack our classroom either. Matter of fact, we limit our classroom sizes to ensure that you receive the best possible training. Our mission is to provide each of our students with the best experience, so that they are confident in their ability to safely own, operate and use a firearm safely and in accordance with the law. We build relationships with our students that go beyond the classroom
- Owning a firearm is your right. Making the decision to legally carry your firearm is a decision that helps you protect yourself, your family and the innocent lives of those in your community. With your decision to exercise your right comes great responsibility. It's only right that you receive the proper education and training. It is our job to provide you with the training you deserve.
Train, Train and than train some more!!
- People don't arise to the occasion; they sink to the level of their training
