MDHQL-Maryland Handgun Qualification License
8hr. class with range time. As required by law, Maryland residents must possess a HQL as a requirement to purchase or receive a regulated firearm. The required training is valid for a three-year period and must be successfully completed prior to submitting an application.
Concealed / Wear Carry Certification
This 16 hour 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.
Home Security
For many, the home is mistakenly considered an impenetrable fortress where guards can be let down and an awareness of surroundings is no longer necessary, but that is simply not the case. This class teaches you the importance of situational awareness through the color codes of awareness, how conflict avoidance benefits you at home, and how vital it is to be proactive versus the risks of living reactively.
