What You'll Learn

This is your opportunity to learn in a fun, judgement free environment with the best trainer in the state of Maryland. Come with an open mind and desire to learn basic fundamentals when it comes to Firearm Defense. All ammunition, targets, and safety gear will be provided for the range qualification component on day two. Drinks and snacks will be provided. There will be a designated time (30-60 min) for lunch during each session. I look forward to training with you!

Each student will have their own prop firearm to take home after day 1 to practice grip, stance, trigger discipline, and the four universal safety rules.

Classes will have private range time and various sized firearms will be available to rent, free of charge to all students. Students will have the opportunity to pay to rent a firearm at the range at their own cost and discretion. Students are required to pay the $25 range fee on day two of the class directly to the range.

Detailed instructions and class location will be sent once student registers for class.

Cancellation Policy: Any student that needs to cancel their class will receive a credit for the next class of their choosing. Please See instructor for further details.

    "I had an excellent experience taking the HQL and Conceal and Carry course. The instructor was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone fully understood the material, not just to pass, but to actually be safe and responsible gun owners. The class was well-organized, engaging, and covered everything from firearm safety to legal responsibilities in a way that was clear and easy to follow. I especially appreciated how comfortable and supportive the environment felt, even when asking questions. By the end of the course, I felt much more confident in my understanding and ability to handle a firearm safely. I would highly recommend this class to anyone looking to get their HQL or carry permit, whether you’re a beginner or just want a refresher."
