Pew Pew Guru Is The Firearms Training That Chicago Trusts

Pew Pew Guru is a personal-protection, home-security and self-defense resource that empowers women, helping to prevent them from being victims. Through concealed-carry weapons classes, firearm training and basic gun-fundamentals classes, they provide private and personalized classes, as well as small-group classes in Kendall and DuPage Counties for basic firearm, CCW.

Kevin Flowers, managing director at Pew Pew Guru, LLC tells Patch why they are your resource for Chicago firearm training in this exclusive Patch one-on-one:

Patch: How long have you been doing business in town?

Flowers: We have been in business since August of 2018. Our first CCW class in Villa Park, IL at the VFW 2801 will be December 15 and 16.

Patch: What attracted you to the line of work you’re in, and how did you get started?

Flowers: I am a military veteran, I have a wife, four daughters, three sisters and I am my mother’s eldest son, so I have always had to be the protector of the family. It has just naturally been my calling to train and teach.

Patch: If you had to sum up your business mission to a stranger, what would you say?

Flowers: Enabling women to not be victims!

Patch: What’s the biggest challenge or most difficult moment you’ve faced in your job?

Flowers: Getting people over the stigma of guns.

Patch: What’s the most satisfying part of your job?

Flowers: Seeing a woman who has never touched a gun before, at the end of her training feel empowered that she has the skills to protect herself, her family and her home.

Patch: How would you say your business or organization distinguishes itself from the others?

Flowers: We distinguish ourselves by being the only company of our kind in the Chicago-land area that markets to women and not at them. I write a blog that instructs, advises and gives insight on all things personal protection, self-defense and home defense. Some examples of articles published are: Why Is It Intimidating To Go Into Gun Shops, Why You Are Vulnerable to Home Invasion, and The 10 Professions that should Concealed Carry— to name a few.

Patch: What’s the best piece of advice you’ve ever been given when it comes to success?

Flowers: Jump and grow wings on the way down.

Patch: Are there any new projects or endeavors you’re working on that you’re extra excited about?

Flowers: The individualized classes have been super rewarding for me because I devote the time to one person, two or three people, sometimes small groups — and you can really see the improvements, the growth is exponential and you build a relationship in that time.

Patch: Do you have any events coming up in your community?

Flowers: My first training in Villa Park at the VFW will be held December 15 and 16. Lunch is included. The range fee is included. Veterans get a 15 percent discount. We are your resource for Chicago Firearm Training. We also do larger classes in Villa Park, IL at the VFW 2801.

Patch: How can Patch readers learn more about your work and business?

Flowers: Check out my blog, Firearm Training Chicago and visit our website. You can also visit my Facebook page.
