LARRY F ORR JR

Lead Instructor & Founder

Meek Defense Group was founded on the belief that every responsible citizen deserves access to quality firearm training — regardless of experience level. As a certified Illinois CCW Instructor and USCCA Certified instructor, I bring a patient, thorough approach to every class. My goal isn't just to help you pass a test — it's to make sure you leave feeling genuinely prepared.

Our Mission

Empowering Responsible Gun Owners

At Meek Defense Group, we believe that firearm ownership is a serious responsibility — and that proper training is the foundation of safe, confident carry. We serve the Chicago and Midwest area with courses designed for real people: first-time gun owners, experienced shooters looking to sharpen their skills, and everyone in between.

Safety First

Every class begins and ends with safety. We instill safe habits from day one so they become second nature.

Respect & Inclusion

Our class  is a judgment-free zone. We welcome students of all backgrounds, experience levels, and walks of life.

Real-World Readiness

We don't just teach you to pass a test. We teach you to be prepared — mentally and physically — for real situations.
