I'm not new guns but new to laws when it comes to concealed carry. Adam was extremely knowledgeable and up front he lets you know. This is something that is very serious and not just some right or hobby. It's a life style change. I wanted to learn as much as I can after all this is Maryland and this is not a cheap process. sadly anyone that has looked into this process since it has been allowed knows lets be honest 80% are in it for the money. Adam is not he has a strong passion for firearms and our rights. one thing that I noticed while in his class as the days go on he never lets up on safety. all the way down to the last min he was correcting newer gun people on the proper way to handle firearms all the time's. Honestly I've seen military and cops in my life time handle them with less then half the respect Adam does. CON'S - classes are to short. I'm not one that likes school for the most part but Adam is that good. "he's the teacher in high School everyone always wanted and just clicked with" the way he teaches will get through to you 100% only thing I would love to see different is as his business grows as it should especially for Calvert residents. As a close community we want all of our county residents to have the best training. Is he hires more and opens up even more advanced classed I would be the first in line. Big thanks to Adam

Thea was very patient and helpful when I called to inquire about the course. She answered every question I had and helped me decide to go with their program. The multi-state training I obtained was very thorough, well explained (supportive links) and although in a classroom setting felt very personal. Class size was nice and small, and even during COVID, we were still able to participate via online. I dont know about other online courses but my instructor Jason was Awsome. He's engaging, funny and most importantly, extremely knowledgeable. He helps you feel comfortable and confident with education and practice. The course was very structured and supportive with many links for your own reference. The range training was extremely helpful also as both Aaron and Jason demonstrate not only how to handle a weapon but also storing (on your person and at home) and how to even proper and comfortable operation. I HIGHLY recommend this course! Whether you're ready to purchase or maybe interested but unsure if you're ready, this course will help you in your decision making.

Want to start out by saying "Thank you PTP". I currently own my own firearms that I purchased prior…read moreto the Maryland legislation act for "Regulated Firearms". I did this as I was informed incorrectly mind you, that IF you purchased your "regulated" firearm you would be grandfathered in. Meaning I would not need to take any additional courses. I thought, great. Well I have since come to find out that you do indeed need to have additional hand gun courses if you want to purchase a hand gun. All this law does is make the general law abiding Maryland resident put out more money to the state. This law will and has not stopped any criminal from doing what they want. With all that being said, let me tell you my opinion on the HQL (Hand gun Qualification License) Class I took on Saturday in Callaway, Maryland with PTP and Ryan Gass and all his fellow PTP staff.. The day starting out wonderfully, it was a normal July day, nice and humid. I got there around 7:45 for the 8am class, got in line, signed in and had a seat. Ryan came in and said we would be holding off for just a few minutes to let some last minute people to either finish signing in or to show up. Which is nice that he was willing to hold off for a few minutes, you never know what traffic can be like. About 8:10 we started, I figured (like most) here we go, time to just keep my eyes open and not fall asleep, boy was I wrong, Ryan was great, he was polite, funny and most important engaged and very informative. Yes, I already knew a lot just from being around guns, but I have to admit, I did learn a lot too. Every question was answered directly and towards the group and all the questions that where asked, he was able to answer without hesitation. The class was less than 8 hours long including a couple of breaks and lunch (provided I might add). During the class one of the things you need is to have finger printing done, this is required to obtain your HQL in Maryland and PTP had a person on site to do it, HQL also required at a minimum a single shot from a fire arm. I was thinking to myself, there are a lot of buildings around here and I know darn well, PTP knows they can't do that here, so I figured we would all have to finish the class and meet some place to do the shot, NOPE, they have a system set up to where the shot can be done on sight and well in all the laws. Very cool. I would tell anyone that wants to get their HQL to contact PTP and get your training through them for a few of reasons. 1. Very knowledgeable 2. They come to your area, vs. having to drive all over who knows where 3. Friendly staff 4. Small classes 5. Lots of guns to tryout (if you sign up) 6. Prices are not going to break your bank.

Their class setup and knowledge they brought forward on current Maryland case law left me with the confidence and knowledge to continue in maintaining and being a responsible and safe permit holder. Citadel Training Solutions also covers a variety of equipment which not only includes firearms but first response and emergency first aid equipment. Using your own equipment? Not sure? You can reach out to Brad for recommendations which I really felt comfortable with because their communications were on-point, email, text, cell phone they won't leave you hanging, all my communications were returned promptly, and that didn't stop there. Their classroom setup was comfortable and efficient with two extremely large monitors that can be viewed from every seat in the classroom, comfortable chairs, and ample desk space for taking notes. Citadel training also had me covered, if you are unsure in using your own equipment for qualifying on the range they are able to provide you with theirs should you prefer and their leaving no student behind the curve attitude is excellent if you were to feel to be a little nervous, but as classes move forward that will simply melt away.

Last night was my first interaction with Mark Warner and Liberty Firearms, and I must say that it…read morewas a great experience. As a basic requirement to obtain a concealed carry permit as a VA resident, you must complete a competency course issued by a NRA certified instructor. After looking at several classes that would meet the requirements, I settled on Liberty Firearms because of the great cost and frequency of available courses. I am not new to firearms or concealed carry, so my expectations were very low going into this class. Once Mark started, I was very impressed by his knowledge and presentation style. Firearms are a complex subject when it comes to state and local law that is usually hard to clearly answer without pouring through vague statues and codes or speaking with an attorney. Mark did an exceptional job walking through the responsibility, morality, awareness, training and resources for novice shooters to determine if owning a firearm would be right for them. I felt more knowledgeable and confident regarding local gun laws than I did before his class, and certainly plan on taking his advanced concealed carry class to learn more. I understand that Mark is not an attorney and can only give his understanding of the law, but it is a very solid base to work from and verify for myself. All in all, I was very happy with this class and Mark's professional approach to firearms. He is a valuable instructor who has the knowledge and experience to educate firearm owners so that they will be safe and confident in their ability to operate a handgun. I would highly recommend Liberty Firearms to friends and family of all ages who are considering buying and carrying personal defense pistols.
