    "I recently had the privilege of attending an HQL Gun License training session led by Terrell Debnam, and I am thoroughly impressed with the experience. From the start, it was evident that Terrell is a seasoned professional with a deep understanding of firearms, safety protocols, and the legal requirements surrounding gun ownership. The training was exceptionally well-organized and balanced between theory and practical application. Terrell’s teaching style is engaging and clear, making what could be a dense topic both accessible and interesting. He took the time to explain each aspect of the course thoroughly, ensuring that all participants understood the material before moving on. Whether discussing the fundamentals of firearm operation or the importance of situational awareness, he maintained a strong emphasis on safety throughout the session. One of the standout aspects of Terrell’s instruction was his ability to connect with everyone in the group, regardless of their prior experience with firearms. For beginners, he was patient and encouraging, addressing questions thoughtfully and ensuring they felt confident. For more experienced participants, he offered valuable insights that added depth to their knowledge. The hands-on portion of the training was equally impressive. Terrell provided clear, step-by-step instructions on handling, loading, and firing a firearm safely. His calm and composed demeanor created a comfortable learning environment, even for those who were initially apprehensive. Additionally, he made sure to cover the legal responsibilities of gun ownership in detail, equipping participants with the knowledge needed to navigate Maryland’s regulations confidently. He also shared practical tips on maintaining firearms and recommended best practices for securing them at home. Overall, Terrell delivers a top-notch training experience that I would recommend to anyone seeking an HQL Gun License. His professionalism, expertise, and commitment to safety are unmatched. Whether you are new to firearms or looking to enhance your skills, Mr. Debnam’s course is an excellent choice."
