We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule your class, please notify us at least 48 hours in advance to avoid any fees. Cancellations or rescheduling requests made less than 48 hours before the class may incur a fee. No-shows will not receive a refund. We strive to be flexible, so if you need to reschedule, we’ll work with you to find another class date that fits your schedule.

Yes, you are required to complete the training, even if you've previously taken a firearms safety course. We only provide training documentation for courses that we conduct, so it's essential to complete the required training with us to receive proper certification. Our courses are tailored to meet specific state requirements for concealed carry and other certifications. 

Absolutely! Our classes are designed for individuals of all experience levels, including those who have never handled a firearm before. We provide comprehensive instruction and a supportive environment to help you learn the fundamentals and gain confidence in your skills.

Also, after completing the course, each state has its own application fees, which are set by the state, and fingerprinting fees, which are determined by the fingerprint provider. These fees are separate from the class and will need to be paid directly to the respective entities.

While our class fulfills the training requirements and provides the required documentation needed to apply for a license or permit, we cannot guarantee approval. Licensing and permit approvals are determined by the state or jurisdiction where you apply and depend on meeting all their eligibility requirements. Our training ensures you are well-prepared, but the final decision rests with the issuing authority processing your application.

No, you do not need to have your Handgun Qualification License (HQL) prior to attending the concealed carry class. Our concealed carry training includes all the necessary information and instructions to help you understand the requirements for obtaining your HQL, if applicable. We aim to ensure you are fully prepared for both the class and the subsequent licensing process.

If you already have your Handgun Qualification License (HQL), that's great! You can still attend our concealed carry class to further your training and learn about the requirements for obtaining a concealed carry permit. Our class will provide you with valuable information and skills to enhance your confidence and proficiency with firearms. Our multi-permit packages include the MD HQL at no additional cost only for individuals who need it. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced gun owner, we welcome you to join us for continued learning.

Absolutely! Although we provide everything needed to complete the class, you can bring and use your handgun for the shooting portion on day 2, provided it meets the necessary safety and operational standards. Please ensure that your firearm is in good working condition and that you bring the appropriate ammunition. If you prefer, we can also provide firearms for use during the training. 

Yes! We offer private shooting lessons for individuals and groups, tailored to your specific needs and experience level. Additionally, we provide private concealed carry classes for small to large groups, ensuring a personalized training experience that fits your schedule. Whether you're looking for one-on-one instruction or want to organize a group session, we're here to help you achieve your firearms training goals.

Unfortunately, we cannot offer refunds if your application for a license or permit is not approved. Our training provides the necessary instruction and documentation required to apply, but the approval process is determined by the state or jurisdiction. We encourage you to review all eligibility requirements before applying. If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to reach out to us for assistance.
