My wife brought me to GUNTRY for my birthday, and it was an awesome experience from start to finish. We kicked things off with a simulation session, which was so cool. I am already planning to do it again. The shock pack that zaps you when you get hit is wild. It is a little crazy, but honestly really fun to try. We spent an hour at the range afterward. It is definitely loud and a bit tight, but it gets the job done. The staff was friendly, patient, and very helpful the whole time. The retail shop is huge too, with tons of firearms and accessories to browse. We ended the night at their cigar and whisky event, and that was a great time. The whisky was strong and plentiful, and dinner was delicious. It was all catered in house by the cafe. Pricing is pretty reasonable overall. Their lesson rates seem lower than a lot of other places I have seen, although I have not had a chance to take one yet. My only complaint is that I wish it were closer. I live in DC, so it is definitely a trek, but it was worth the drive.

I booked myself and my wife on the HQL Course with Annapolis Defense & Security. My wife has very little handgun experience. I served for 22 years as a Sapper, former Commando and Military Diver with extensive handgun experience, including concealed carry; I wondered what I was going to learn. The course was outstanding, Joe is a phenomenally experienced Instructor; I learned a lot and even though a small part of the course, Joe helped me iron out a few habits! Joe easily catered to the different experience levels in the class and no-one was lost throughout the course, as the content was explained and different experience levels were catered for. I will definitely be using ADS again, so my wife and I can progress our handgun experience in a safe and healthy environment, which I trust. I recommend ADS to anyone, irrespective of experience level; they have my strongest recommendation.

Let me start by pointing out that I'm in Gaithersburg, which is in Montgomery County…read more I had been meaning to get my HQL for several months but I wanted to do the appropriate research beforehand. I noticed that there were many programs in my vicinity but the prices varied and it seemed as though they were just doing the HQL course as a side hustle. When I came across John's site and his videos, I just got a great vibe that he was a stand up guy and is truly in it to instruct and focus on the important thing: SAFETY! I had reached out to a local company and it took them over a week to get back in touch with me. I was very impressed with the quick response I received from Susan at Fortress Training. I was also somewhat overwhelmed knowing that there were multiple "stops" to make to finally apply for the permit. It really put my mind at ease knowing that everything I needed to do could be taken care of at one place and all at the same time. I took a 9am Saturday morning course in Ellicott City at a local establishment. It was about a 45 minute drive but it was absolutely worth the drive. The course was a lot of fun and everyone I interacted with from Fortress Training had a great sense of humor, so it calmed my nerves (having never fired a handgun before). John introduced himself at the beginning and stuck around for the first half but Dean was our "official" instructor. Both of them had a wealth of knowledge and offered up advice if anyone asked. I really liked that they gave an in depth explanation of MD gun laws, so we left with some excellent and practical information. They were very patient with each student that had questions and their honesty was appreciated. It was also nice to know that they weren't trying to sell me anything. They had several options for things they offered ie small fee for filling out the HQL permit for us, fingerprinting on site (which has to be done before applying for the permit regardless) but you could tell that they didn't NEED our money. I just wish everybody conducted their business this way. Susan was extremely organized and was sharp as a tack with all the forms and paperwork. It was a totally streamlined process and I'm glad I didn't have to run around town putting together everything needed just to be able to apply for the permit. I look forward to taking another course in the future. These guys are the way to go, especially since they're locals and have been around for a while.

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!

It was the day before Christmas Eve and it was busy but we were able to get in within 20 mins. While we waited they completed our paperwork which made the time go by quickly. We enjoyed our time and the staff were very friendly and helpful. I don't know a lot about guns but they have a fair selection of guns to rent. On the website, it says that handgun rentals are $10 plus the cost of ammo. Ammo is $20 a box and you would like about two boxes just a heads up so you can plan. It is loud in there so you do need protective eyewear, and earplugs. You can get eyewear for about two bucks from Harbor freight. If you have AirPods that have noise cancellation I preferred those over earplugs because it was still a bit loud for me. Once you're in there for about 10 minutes, you focus more on shooting than anything else. For ladies, dress comfortably without oversize clothing because it can be a little annoying for you to try to shoot wearing clothes that are way too baggy. Leave your purse in the car because there is only a small ledge to rest your purse on. Just a reminder for new patrons, you are only allowed to carry your rented gun in the black caddy and loaded weapons are not to be taken from the shooting booth. We had a great time and I purchased a family membership for my husband's birthday. Therefore, we are definitely going back.

Upon entering I check in with the staff in front and then headed upstairs to where the class was held. Our instructor Stephanie was engaging and made class fun. Got our fingerprint done during class and then after the lecture we went and did some live firing. One of the downside is the bathroom only has 1 urinal and 1 stall, on this day the urinal was out of order so a long wait time to use the bathroom since only have one stall. All in all, it was a very straight forward process to completing the class and getting my HQL certificate and I would highly recommend anyone who in the area and need a HQL class to get it here. As for me I won't be back unfortunately due to the distance, gas price, and having to drive through dingy Baltimore to get to this facility.

The course was exactly as described on his web site. There was no bs, no fluff, you hit the ground running, literally. Even though I had some experience with shooting, I still learned a lot. The course was realistic in teaching you skills so you are prepared under stress / under attack, in various situations such as a moving vehicle, and defending yourself against various weapons, just to name a few. Tomer makes you think and see things differently and the scenarios are realistic. I highly recommend Tomer / Israeli Tactical School.
