Firearms Training

Many so-called firearms instructors have no law enforcement experience. Therefore, they have never conducted a firearms arrest or investigation. It only takes 32 hours of training to become an NRA firearms instructor. Do you want to trust your safety and liability to that? Trust your training to former local police officers at USTASC. We offer firearm training classes that will give you the practical advice you need.

HOW ARE YOU DIFFERNT THAN YOUR COMPETITORS?

Handgun Permit and HQL Training is now FREE

Why are you guys offering free handgun permit training?

Well, that's easy. For years and years, our competitors (not all of them, but some of them) were under-training people. One place in particular (we won't mention any names, but it starts with kung fu)... They would have them sit in a room for 8 hours listening to the instructors talk about themselves, put them on a simulator, and then take them out to shoot 25 rounds. We thought that it was kinda of ridiculous that they were taking people's money and teaching them nothing. We do many other things than firearms training but we like putting on firearms classes and educating the public in the right way. Many of these so called firearms instructors are in it only to make a buck.. we call these people in the industry permit mills because that's all they do is crank out permits (or certifications for permits) without teaching anything. It's sad, really.

So, we decided because our competitors were charging $350, we would charge $250... shortly after that we got a nasty gram from our competitors, so now we are doing it for FREE.

Is it really free?

 

Yes it is. You only pay for ammo, which you can provide in 9mm or you can get it from us at cost (200 rounds if taking the initial class), $35 fee directly to the range, and a tip for the instructor if you wish to tip them.

 

You see, we really do not make money off of the firearms training. So, we are just volunteering our time to do it. We do many other things in the security industry so this is just kinda fun for us. All of us are prior LOCAL law enforcement by the way!

We figured our competitors were really talking a lot of nonsense about us now. But don't believe everything you hear... we are just a group that loves teaching.

Are you going to offer this in the future?

Yep. Every month or so we will offer free handgun permits and HQL training for the first 10 people that sign up. The class is limited to 10.

I already paid for other training, what should I do?

Cancel it. Losing your deposit of $100 is less than you will have to pay the total of $350 when you can take the course from us for FREE.

If it is FREE then why do I have to pay a $50 deposit?

To keep your spot in class. There are two issues. 1) Without a deposit, people book and then do not show up, 2) Our competitors book fake people to fill the class so we do not have free spaces for your booking. The booking portal automatically "eats" up a booking spot when you book. So if those spots are filled with people who either won't show up for class OR are bogus people, then you cannot book because your seat was taken. Your $50 is completely refundable and will be refunded shortly after you show up for class.

Is there a catch?

 

Nope. No marketing ploy, no other BS, no timeshare, no tickets for some garbage, no catch.

Just some notes...

  1. All of our instructors are prior LOCAL law enforcement officers, some of whom are certified by the Maryland Police and Corrections Commission as certified police instructors.

  2. We shoot about 250 rounds in our handgun permit class and 50 rounds for our HQL class. We do not put you in front of a simulator and then you shoot only 25 rounds for qualification.

  3. We have testified many times in court. If you are involved in a shooting, they will subpoena your firearms instructor. Better to have a firearms instructor that has testified in hundreds of criminal and civil cases.

  4. You will learn how to shoot under stressful conditions. Shooting at a stationary target and being stationary is fine if you plan on engaging with a criminal who takes the time to stand there while you aim properly but, this is not how a dynamic encounter occurs. Your stress level will increase which affects your decision making and shooting capabilities. You will learn how your body reacts under stress while shooting.  You will also learn the use of force continuum and de-escalation of force along with laws and civil liability. 

NOTICE TO MEDICAL CANNABIS CARD HOLDERS


*Persons that consume cannabis or have been issued a medical cannabis card are prohibited from owning a firearm per federal law. Unfortunately, we must cancel reservations for those who hold a medical cannabis card. Maryland will not accept any handgun permit licensing application or HQL application for those who possess a medical cannabis card or use cannabis.
