About Redline Concealed Carry
Brian isn't your typical part-time instructor and works in the firearms industry full-time. He grew up in a small farm town in rural Indiana and learned to shoot before he learned to drive. His career began as a firefighter and medic in Indiana. Throughout the years, he has owned multiple businesses, from construction to technology. His life has come full circle, and he is back to his emergency services roots -teaching emergency first aid and firearms courses.
Brian believes that the best way to learn “HOW” to do something is to first answer “WHY” you do something. He is an average guy with views like yours and is now sharing the knowledge gained from teaching, learning from others, and researching the topics you don’t have time to explore yourself.
He writes for various firearm industry publications, including USA Carry, The Truth About Guns, Crossbreed, Gun Made, and more.
He offers courses in both the Chicago and Dallas areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Do I need a FOID card or a gun? No, you do not need a FOID card, and I can let you try out different guns.
- I am scared of guns. Well, you and half the other people there will be in the same boat, so do not worry.
- I do not want to carry a gun. I just want to keep one around the house. Again, you and many other people who feel the same way will be there. Nothing says you have to apply for your CCL, and if you do not care about getting the actual certification, you do not have to go to the range.
Reviews
Illinois CCL Class
5 stars
From: Andrew
Brian understands that firearms is a new world for many people and teaches with patience and grace.
What truly sets this class apart is Brian’s ability to break down complex concepts into easy-to-understand lessons. We covered everything from stance, grip, and sight alignment to situational awareness, defensive techniques, and legal considerations.
By the end of the session, I not only felt more skilled but far more comfortable handling a firearm. I also left with a deep appreciation for the responsibility that comes with it, something this class emphasized very well.
