I took the 2-day, 16-hour Maryland Wear and Carry course and was thoroughly impressed by Jen's deep expertise and genuine passion for the subject. I never felt bored or overwhelmed, and she cultivated a comfortable atmosphere where questions were always welcome. She has a remarkable talent for making complex material, especially Maryland's tomb of firearm regulations, both engaging and easy to understand. The course is a true one-stop shop. Jen simplifies the entire application process by offering on-site fingerprinting at cost and passport photos for free, and even provides individual assistance with filling out the HGP paperwork. The range qualification was conducted with the utmost safety and professionalism. Her instructions were crystal clear, and she provided excellent, patient coaching to those with less experience. ​As an added bonus, her training also qualifies you for permits in Arizona and Florida. If you are serious about getting your carry permit and want top-tier instruction at a very reasonable price, look no further. I will definitely be returning for future classes with her!
