Naperville Firearm Training

Stephanie Timmer is a former active-duty Marine and Navy Reservist with professional security experience, including armed VIP protection. She holds a DoD security clearance and is certified to teach concealed carry in Illinois, Ohio, Indiana, and Tennessee through the USCCA.

Small class sizes mean more simulator time and one-on-one feedback. Rather than lecturing 30 people, Naperville Firearm Training caps classes at 6 students so everyone gets hands-on practice with drawing, malfunction drills, and defensive scenarios.

Flexible scheduling breaks the 16-hour Illinois CCL requirement into four sessions—three in-person classroom and one range day. Night and weekday options mean you're not losing your entire weekend.

Simulators in the classroom let you practice draws and techniques that ranges won't allow. This is where the learning actually sticks.
