After completing your MD HGP (CCW) training and receiving approval, you may apply for your Handgun Qualification License (HQL) as a Permit Exempt applicant. Be sure to have your HGP ID and expiration date ready.

Private Lessons

We offer many varieties of private lessons for our clients.

Some students prefer a more individualized training program. While we encourage group participation for most of our courses, because the interaction between students adds to the course comprehension and discussion, we understand different customers have different requirements.

Throughout the firearm training industry, every company offers its own homemade courses. For Basic courses and Personal Protection courses we recommend NRA Certified Courses. These courses are nationally recognized.
