Don and Sam from SAFE FIREARMS TRAINING are to be highly recommended as trainers in all things…read moreFirearms related. Both men are well versed in current training methodologies, legal considerations, and historical perspectives in the world of Firearms and Personal Protection. I recently attended a Maryland Wear & Carry Renewal class that they held, and one of many considerations I came away from the experience was a realistic and sobering perspective of the reality and responsibility of self-defense with a Firearm. Understandably, a one day eight hour class is a bit arduous but with their presentation style incorporating a myriad of real-life videos (gleaned from body-cam police sources, surveillance videos etc.) , real time discussion with the students present, and concise informative powerpoint graphics (many of which I actually photographed for later reference!), it was time well spent. This particular class incorporated/required live target shooting to demonstrate competency and accuracy on the range. There was one particular student who I believe had very extremely limited experience with a Handgun. Students were given the opportunity to practice fire their own Pistol or one of a selection that Don brings to the Range. Sam took this particular fellow aside and within a relatively short period of time gently guided him to a level of competency so much so that he achieved a near perfect score on the qualifying target!,,, a true testament to Sam's ability to quickly access a student's needs and ability to convey guidance for a good outcome. What is unique about SAFE FIREARMS TRAINING is the enthusiasm exhibited by Don and Sam,,, they actually ENJOY their profession and it's clear that they want their student to share their passion! Don has gone out of his way to make the "paperwork" elements of the Maryland State Police Carry Permit process as seamless as possible, he offers to all his students the opportunity if necessary to meet one on one with him (on a date and time THEY SELECT from his personal calendar!!) to complete the online application process utilizing his computer skills for those behind the wall tech-wise! SAFE FIREARMS TRAINING is not just a once and done operation,,,, they really care about their students and they seem to live the acronym of their title. Second Amendment For Everyone (SAFE).

It's very apparent that Don has put together a well thought out and planned handgun safety course…read more They guide you step by step using multiple tools to work you slowly toward firing live rounds. With Don and Sam, You know you are in good hands the whole way through. They cover a great amount, and make it interesting and fun along the way.

No matter what walk of life you are on, they have put together a program that is for you.

I have been shooting firearms for 63 years. I have attended numerous firearms classes, including…read moreLaw enforcement shooting training classes, in an attempt to improve my shooting skills. I really never improved much at all. Then one of my friends who was an average shooter and sometimes struggled to qualify took a class with Loren Hockensmith and scored 95% on his next qualification. I decided to try Loren and see how good he was. I am 100 percent impressed with the attention that I Loren provided to me. He started by having me shoot at 15 yards to observe my shooting. Loren then started by changing the position of my feet, my posture and even the way I held the gun. I started with 12 inch groups and finished with 2 inch groups and in a couple of instances put multiple bullets through the same hole. I simply can't rate Loren high enough, on a scale of 1 to 10, Loren is a 15. Loren was able to fix 63 years of bad habits. I have attended multiple law enforcement training classes and not once has any instructor paid attention with as much detail as Loren.

Jake covered the NRA materials for the class and weaved in his personal experiences from his time serving in the Marines as well as time spent working in armed security roles. He also has extensive experience in competitive shooting and is very knowledgeable on firearms and self defense. Jake did not just take me through the "motions" of class curriculum, but he also provided shooting tips that will definitely increase my accuracy at the shooting range.
