Where Precision Meets Power

Our Story & Mission

MOA Industries was founded in Bensenville, Illinois with a simple mission: to be a one-stop resource for firearm enthusiasts of all levels. Our name – MOA (Minute of Angle) – reflects our commitment to precision in everything we do.

What began as a local gunsmith shop has grown into a comprehensive firearms training and customization center serving the greater Chicagoland community.

Concealed Carry License Courses & Training

Firearm education is at the heart of MOA Industries. We are proud to offer Illinois Concealed Carry License (CCL) courses and tactical training programs taught by an experienced, state-certified instructor. Our classes provide hands-on instruction to ensure you are fully prepared for safe and responsible firearm use.

The 16-hour Illinois CCL certification course meets all Illinois legal requirements for new applicants, covering everything from fundamental pistol operation and marksmanship to state laws and real-world self-defense scenarios. We keep class sizes small to foster a supportive learning environment where questions are encouraged and each student receives personal guidance.

From defensive pistol techniques to home-defense shotgun courses, our training curriculum is designed to grow with you.

Safety is emphasized at every step. We maintain a strict safety protocol on the range and in the classroom, ensuring that you not only earn your certification but also develop the mindset and habits of a responsible armed citizen. Our students include everyday men and women, first-time shooters, and even off-duty law enforcement – all training together to become safer and more proficient.

By the end of each course, you’ll understand how to legally carry in Illinois, know how to handle your firearm confidently, and be a part of the MOA community that supports ongoing education and practice.

We’ve built strong relationships with area gun clubs and ranges, often collaborating to host safety seminars and range days for the public.

Community members trust MOA as a friendly, knowledgeable partner – whether it’s helping a new shooter choose their first firearm or assisting local law enforcement officers with custom duty weapon upgrades, we are here to help. Our values are grounded in respect, honesty, and service.

We respect the serious responsibility that comes with firearm ownership and instill that respect in our students. We are honest and transparent in our business practices – you’ll always get straightforward advice and fair pricing from our staff, not upsells. And we are service-oriented: from answering simple questions to walking you through complex gunsmithing projects, we measure our success by your satisfaction and safety. MOA Industries also believes in honoring those who serve.

We proudly support veterans and first responders, and work to be a resource they can rely on. It’s no coincidence that our motto references “America’s finest” – we are inspired by the bravery and dedication of our military and police, and we strive to mirror that excellence in our own field.
