Welcome to our website

Do you need a HQL or a Wear & Carry Permit. You can find it here. 
Do you just need some pointers at the range. You can find that here too. 

Common Questions:

Do You teach the HQL?  (To buy a firearm)
YES, it's only a 4-hour class. This hopefully will change soon. 

Do I need to take both classes...HQL and the wear & carry?
NO. If you just want the HQL it's a 4-hour class, if you want the wear and carry permit class, it will cover both the HQL and the Wear & Carry.  

Is the wear & carry class really 16 hours?
Yes, The Maryland State Police say instructors have to teach at least 16-hours' worth of material in order for the student to pass the class. This will include classroom time and on the range time.    

Can I bring a friend with me because I'm afraid to go by myself? 
Absolutely we encourage it.
We can teach a big class, small class, 2 or 3 people group, or we can teach a 1 on 1 Sesson.   

Do I need to bring anything?
NO, we have everything you need for the class, however if you have a weapon, ammo, your own ear protection and safety glasses, please bring them. We understand some people do not want to wear stuff other people have worn. 
You may need to bring ammo for your gun. We may or may not have your type of ammo for your weapon. 

Can You teach aywhere?

Yes, if you have a room big enough for your class with a place to set up a laptop computer and power point, along with a safe place to shoot, we can travel to you within reason. 
We have done many classes on farms of clients, as long as it's safe to do so. 

I will also travel within reason. If you have a place for me to set up a power point projector and a safe place to shoot, I will come to you.  


If you don't see a class you can attend, I have other dates that are not listed. Give me a call. 240-216-2535 or johnston357@yahoo.com
