At Higher Calling Enterprises (HCE), our goal is improving safety through knowledge by educating students with the fundamentals of owning, operating, and acquiring a firearm to ensure safe usage.
In addition, HCE provides the training and instruction required to obtain a Concealed Carry License (CCL) for the state of Illinois. We specialize in customizing classes for organizations, couples, church groups, families, etc. All classes are held in a comfortable and professional environment that is conducive to learning. As a law-abiding citizen, it is the responsibility of the owner and operator of a firearm to know and understand the laws where you live and when traveling. Each state’s laws are different, and ignorance of the law is not acceptable even in a life-threatening situation.
Classroom seating is limited to 15 to ensure proper attention is given to each student.
Founding Purpose
Higher Calling Enterprises is a company built for improving communities. It was founded with the purpose of educating, coaching, and consulting novice owners and operators on how to possess a firearm safely and legally. Our goal is to make communities safer by training those who may have access to a firearm but do not have the prerequisite knowledge, training, and comfort to operate them confidently. We believe that in a household that has a firearm, the spouse and children of the primary owner need to be knowledgeable as well.
To improve safety of all communities, it is important that we impart knowledge, provide training, and prevent misguided curiosity.

“I highly recommend taking a class with HCE. The instructor, Barry, was very thorough. Also, the instruction manual he provides was easy to read and had great informative photos. The hands-on part of the course was awesome. I’m proud to say I successfully passed”.
