Basic Handgun Safety & MD HQL Courses

• All-Inclusive
• Everything Provided
• Beginners Welcome!!

True "show up & shoot" class!! This 4+ hour course lays the foundation for all future pistol training. Class curriculum is appropriate for both MD & PA residents and qualifies MD residents to apply for a Maryland Handgun Qualification License (HQL). Safety, range etiquette, clearing, loading, equipment, fundamentals of fire, common mistakes, and firearm safety mindset are the main subjects tackled in this essential course. Though this training is designed for beginners, the subject matter and techniques allow students to build realistic skills that can survive the test of stress and small time constraints.

This class will expand upon the basic requirements set forth by the State of Maryland for the application of a Maryland Handgun Qualification License (HQL). In addition to those requirements, students will learn about selection of a firearm based on purpose & planned usage, care & cleaning of their firearm, and basic trauma care. We will discuss alternate uses of force and what are the required elements for lethal use of use. We'll shoot more rounds than the single round required by Maryland law. Our goal is to start building muscle memory in the mechanics of using a firearm.

If you are NOT a Maryland resident, this class will teach basic firearm safety with live fire and includes a Pennsylvania law section.

Students may bring their sons or daughters under 18 years of age for half price. Use coupon code "KidsSAFE50" for your child registration. If you are bringing more than 1 kid, please contact us to help you register.
