Policies

---

For the sake of safety, anyone arriving to class smelling of alcohol or marijuana will not be allowed to participate and will forfeit their deposit or payment.

If you are unable to attend a class that you have scheduled, please contact us no later than 1 hour prior to start of class so that we can reschedule you for a future class.  Failure to do so may result in forfeit of your payment.

All students must be legally able to own a firearm per Maryland and Federal law (no Felony convictions, no Misdemeanor convictions that carry or could carry a 2 or more year sentence, no violent crime convictions or domestic violence convictions, no current protective orders).

With prior approval, children of 12 or older may accompany an adult family member over the age of 21 for any NRA or MD HQL class.

We cannot guarantee that the respective Police Agencies will accept anyone's application for a firearm license.  

Persons seeking to take the MD Wear & Carry class should call us for pre-screening.  Maryland requires those seeking the Wear & Carry Permit to demonstrate a "Good and Substantial" reason (they must be at more risk than the general public, most permits are granted due to employment risks).  We are happy to discuss what is and is not generally accepted by MD State Police as a "Good" reason.

Our classroom is located on the second floor of the building. If you have a physical limitation and are unable to use the stairs, please call us so that we can arrange a class on a Sunday and use the first floor of the building which has an ADA-compliant ramp.

We believe that all law-abiding Americans should be able to enjoy their rights to firearm ownership regardless of Age, Gender, Orientation, Religion, Race, Political Affiliations, etc...   No derogatory comments or remarks will be allowed in any of our classes.
