Who is NACFI?

After creating the Permit to Carry Course and writing our textbook Everything you need to know about legally carrying a Handgun in Minnesota in 2003, it set the bar. Other instructors immediately copied the course but like art, a copy is still a copy.

For fourteen years NACFI has focused on continual improvement and we have synthesized our material into ready to use instruction. You will also have the best, newest book written about carrying a firearm in Illinois as your personal reference.

NACFI instructors have trained over 45,000 clients in Minnesota, Wisconsin and Missouri. Many have returned for additional training. Our instructors and clients have provided us with an outstanding reputation in the permit to carry training marketplace.

NACFI has developed an up to date Illinois permit to carry course and it reflects our latest research regarding training. Permit renewal clients especially appreciate our course after attending others.
