Hello, Ron and Dave welcome you to Chesapeake Firearms Training, LLC.  We are the Owners and Chief Instructors of Chesapeake Firearms Training, LLC.  We have a combined 80+ years of Law Enforcement, NRA, and USCCA training.  We are Certified Range Safety Officers, Basic Pistol & rifle Instructors, Personal Protection in the Home, Home Firearm Safety, Countering the Mass Shooter Threat, Personal Protection Outside the Home and Refuse to be a Victim Certified Instructors.

 

   What are your needs.  Are you a new gun owner looking for pistol or defensive training in Maryland area? Maybe you own a handgun, but haven’t had an opportunity to safely train with it for several years.  Maybe you want to get your Maryland HQL (Handgun Qualification License), or your Maryland Handgun Concealed Carry Permit? Maybe you are an experienced gun owner that wants to brush up your skills, shoot at a pistol range and learn gun safety? With the 2 Amendment challenges currently happening in our nation, you have found the right place at the right time!

 

   Chesapeake Firearms Training is instructing out of the Southern Maryland and Northern Maryland areas. We offer a variety of firearms training courses by NRA and USCCA.  We are Certified & Insured Instructors who stress safe gun handling, and can help anyone learn safe gun handling practices and improved firearm handling skills. We are dedicated to the safety and proficiency of firearm use and the belief that the right to protect one’s self is a fundamental 2nd Amendment right.

 

   First and foremost, firearms ownership comes with the responsibility to society, yourself, and most of all, those around you that you be proficient in their use and knowledgeable in the law that governs their use. We want you to be as proficient with your chosen firearm as possible.

 

   History shows that everything that can go wrong, will go wrong – and probably when you least expect it, and at the worst possible time. Also, remember, no one knows it all, there will always be faster, better techniques to learn. Accepting these basic principles will lead you to the conclusion that it pays to listen, learn and plan ahead. Simply put … “Train for the worst, hope for the best”.

 

   Chesapeake Firearms Training, LLC has a goal to give you the information and continued training you need to protect yourself, the ones you love, and your community. We believe that the more respectable, law-abiding people we have carrying firearms, the less likely we will fall victim to the schemes of violent criminals. Let us enable you to make you, your family, and your community a safer place.

General Information

 

Whether you are interested in recreational shooting or personal protection, the basics are where you start.

 

We are currently offering several pistol shooting courses as well as the Maryland Concealed Carry Permit License class. The course you should take depends on your current skill level. All classes include live instruction from insured NRA Certified Instructors, video and PowerPoint presentations, detailed information on the legal* aspects of self-defense, and hands-on experience with firearms, including live-fire training at the range.

Safe firearm handling will be at the forefront of every firearms course. Learn the techniques that are proven to work should you ever decide to shoot in a lethal force encounter. You owe it to yourself and your loved ones to make “good hits”. You are responsible for every round you fire. Therefore, it makes good sense to receive firearms training that will make you more proficient and competent as a firearms owner.

 

Group and/or Private Instruction

We offer group discounts to groups of 5 or more that attend the same Chesapeake Firearm Training Instructed Course. Please call our office for special pricing information. Additionally, upon special request, we will provide evening classes during the work-week for groups of 5 or more. However, group discount pricing is not available for evening courses as the evening courses entail the class meeting twice (evening classroom and day range meetings) during the course.

We also offer private firearm instruction courses in your office, home or at our office for a modest additional fee. Personal firearm instruction training payable by the hour is available if desired. Please call our office for pricing.

 

United States Military Veterans

If you are an honorably discharged Unites States military veteran, the State of Maryland allows you to use your DD 214 in place of the HQL training course only. However, if it has been some time since you handled firearms, especially a pistol, we suggest you enroll in our Basics of Pistol Shooting Course to receive a refresher on firearm safety and basic shooting techniques as well as become familiar with the firearm regulations in the State of Maryland. 

If you or an immediate family member would like to attend any of our firearm training courses, a $10.00 discount will apply to you and to those immediate family members who attend the same course. Thank you for your service!
