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.)

Refunds/Rescheduling: We maintain a "Zero" refunds policy on our services.

Exempt from training if you are:

  1. Active law enforcement officer with a law enforcement agency of the United States, the State or any local law enforcement agency in the State.

  2. Retired law enforcement officer with a law enforcement agency of the United States, the State or any local law enforcement agency in the State.

  3. Active, retired, or honorably discharged member of the armed forces of the United States or the National Guard.

Cancellation Policy: 1. We maintain a zero-refund policy on our services. All sales are final. 2. If you cannot make your selected class, you must notify us within 48 hours of your scheduled class date. You will have one time to reschedule for a future class within 60 days. There is a $25 rescheduling fee. 3. If you are a no-call/no-show to class, you will forfeit the opportunity to reschedule and must pay a new class fee for a future date. 4. In the event we have to cancel class for severe weather or other reasons, we will refund your money or accommodate your schedule as best as possible. 5. If you are more than 30 minutes late to class, you must reschedule to a future class date.

What We'll Teach

Concealed Carry & Home Defense Fundamentals

Lessons:

  • Developing a Personal and Home Protection Plan
  • Self-Defense Firearms Basics
  • Shooting Fundamentals
  • Gear and Gadgets
  • The Legal Use of Force
  • Violent Encounters and the Aftermath
  • Basic and Advanced Skills

Other topics covered: Personal Safety, Handgun Safety, Handgun Fundamentals, Handgun Operation, Handgun Selection, Physiological Reactions to Violent Encounters

Over 1 million students have taken the U.S. Concealed Carry Association’s course offerings across the nation. Concealed Carry and Home Defense Fundamentals is a comprehensive classroom course for anyone considering owning or carrying a firearm for self-defense. If you are new to handguns, this is a great introduction to everything you need to know to start your self-protection journey.

This course is a complete guide to understanding the basics of firearms ownership, safety, and nomenclature, and how it applies to home- or self-defense. After this class, students will feel confident to act as their family’s first line of defense in the event of a home invasion or other critical incident.

Additional Notes from Your Instructor

Light refreshments and water will be available during class. There will be a one-hour lunch break prior to attending the live qualification course. There will be absolutely "NO" firearms or ammo inside the facility during Part 1. There's absolutely no smoking at the range. If you register after Thursday before the Saturday class, your certificate may be mailed or emailed to you.
