What You'll Learn
If you are prohibited from possessing a firearm, do not register for our firearm course.
Please read all details below
We must have a minimum of 8 students registered to host this 2 day course.
This class will cover the required elements needed by Maryland State Law to obtain your permit.
The class will be divided into two parts in order to make you aware of those elements.
Part 1 will be both classroom learning and live fire qualifications. The lesson plan will cover a PowerPoint curriculum, including classroom discussion. Upon completion of the classroom portion, students will complete a 25 round live fire qualification. Students that fail their first attempt will be granted a second chance, but it can “potentially” be on a different date.
As a safety measure, please don't bring firearms/ammo into the classroom. Please bring your ID for registration purposes.
Part 2 We will return to the classroom and complete all of the remaining Maryland Wear & Carry requirements.
If you don't possess a handgun, we have 9mm gun rentals for $20. We do not sell ammunition. You are responsible for your own ammunition. (Contact us for details)
Personal Protection Equipment (PPE) for the range is mandatory. If you don't possess eye protection or ear protection, we have them for sale. (contact us for details.)
