My Biography

The OpSec Philosophy

At OpSec, we believe in a progressive, step-by-step approach to firearms training. Whether you’re brand new to shooting or have handled a firearm before without formal training, we meet you where you are and build you up with purpose and precision.

Our Pathway Includes:

• Firearm Training Course + Range Time

• Maryland HQL Training Course + Range Time

• Maryland Firearm Training Course + Range Time

• Follow-Up Sessions = More Range Time

With us, you’ll experience live-fire training at least three times, because repetition builds competence, and competence feeds confidence.
