This 16-hour class gives you the ability to apply for a Maryland Wear and Carry Handgun Permit. If you were honorably discharged from the U.S. Military, you are exempt from the training requirement.

On both days you will need your handgun, holster (outside the waistband) made for your make/model handgun, magazines (or speedloaders for revolver) 200 rounds of ammunition for training and qualification, and ear and eye protection. Live-fire shooting is done on Day 2 only. The qualification course MUST be shot with a center-fire caliber (so no .22s).
Minimum passing score is 70%. 25 round Course of Fire. You will have three (3) attempts to pass. Failure to pass will require additional costs for remediation and testing at a later date.
