  Maryland Wear & Carry Course (Instructor-Led, 16 hour course)

  Course Overview:

  The objective of this comprehensive safety course is to provide the student with the knowledge required to safely own, carry, and shoot a firearm. It is designed to exceed Maryland’s training requirements for both residents and non-residents of the State seeking to apply for their Maryland license to properly wear and carry a handgun.

  This course will teach the proper mindset and understanding of necessary tactics to use firearms to defend home, family, and freedom.

  This is a two-day course.  Day 1 will be classroom from 9:00am-12:30pm, then 25 yard range from 1:15pm-5:00pm.  The second day will be all classroom (9:00am-5:00pm).

  The State of Maryland requires 16 hours of training, which will also fulfill all topics required to apply for a Delaware permit to carry, making this a two for one. If you do not need a DE permit, it is still good to have knowledge of the neighboring state laws, or a refresher.

  Curriculum in the Classroom:

  1. Laws relating to:

  a. Self-defense

  b. Defense of others

  c. Defense of property

  2. Safe storage of firearms

  3. Circumstances under which an individual becomes prohibited from possessing a firearm

  4. Requirements and options for surrendering, transferring, or otherwise disposing of a firearm after becoming prohibited

  5. Requirements for reporting a loss or theft of a firearm

  6. Firearms and accessories banned under state and federal law

  7. Types of firearms that require a special permit

  8. Law prohibiting straw purchase.

  9. Law concerning armed trespass

  10. Locations where a person is prohibited from possessing a firearm regardless of whether a person possesses a permit

  11. Transportation of firearms

  12. Home firearm safety

  13. Handgun mechanisms and operations

  14. Conflict de-escalation and resolution

  15. Anger management

  16. Suicide prevention

  Curriculum on the Range:
  

  Students will be instructed to keep their firearms in a bag, case, or holster until they are at the firing line until they are told it is okay to get it out. On the firing line, we will initially start with dryfire practice, and make any necessary corrections to grip, stance, and holster work. We then work through a series of practical live fire shooting exercises. The range portion concludes with the required 25-round Maryland Wear and Carry permit qualification.

  What Students Should Bring:

  • handgun
  • holster (if you have one)
  • 150 rounds of ammunition
  • ear and eye protection
  • lunch
  • plenty of water 

  What to wear on the Range:

  Clothing for movement, long pants, closed-toe shoes, long sleeve shirt and baseball hat, eye, ear protection

  DESCRIPTION:

  Each year, more than 350,000 EMS-assessed out-of-hospital cardiac arrests occur in the United States. According to the American Heart Association, 90 percent of people who suffer out-of-hospital cardiac arrests die.

  When a person has a cardiac arrest, their survival depends on immediately receiving CPR from someone nearby. CPR, especially if performed immediately, can double, or triple a cardiac arrest victim’s chance of survival.

  In his years of service, He has seen too often people will not start CPR on someone, either because they are scared or because they do not know how. Every minute that CPR is withheld decreases chances of survival by 10%.

  Because he has seen a family’s hurt when a loved one is lost due to the lack of receiving such care, He decided to help as many people as possible to understand and learn how easy it really is to apply this life-saving technique.

  Join us for a hands-on, educational class designed to equip you with essential life-saving skills. In this engaging session, you'll learn the basics of CPR, First Aid, AED use, and Stop the Bleed techniques. Whether you're new to these skills or need a refresher, this class offers practical training that could one day help you save a life. Be prepared—because when every second counts, your knowledge can make the difference.
