Full description and what we offer

DMV CARRY specializes in concealed carry certification and firearms safety training for Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia. They're the go-to source for responsible gun owners navigating the complex permit requirements across three different jurisdictions.

Primary Training Courses: - 16-hour DC Concealed Carry Course (meets DC CCL requirements) - 16-hour DC + MD + VA combo course (covers all three states) - 16-hour DC + MD + VA + UT multi-state course - 16-hour DC + MD + VA + FL + AZ + UT maximum reciprocity course - 4-hour DC CPL renewal course - DC Laws on Firearms & Self-Defense (instructor-led virtual, for military/law enforcement exemptions)

Key Features: - Instructor-led classes (not pre-recorded videos) - Small class sizes for personalized attention - Flexible scheduling: evenings, weekends, virtual options - Real-world situational training specific to DMV region - Step-by-step guidance through the entire permit application process

Jurisdiction-Specific Expertise DC, Maryland, and Virginia each have different requirements, application timelines, and legal restrictions. DMV CARRY's instructors know exactly what each jurisdiction demands and teach material that actually meets those requirements—not generic firearms training that leaves gaps.

Multi-State Reciprocity Done Right Their "Multi-State Max" course is the most efficient way to qualify for permits in DC, Maryland, Virginia, Arizona, Florida, and Utah all at once. One 16-hour course covers all the certification requirements instead of taking separate classes in each state.

Legal Knowledge, Not Just Gun Handling They emphasize the legal side of concealed carry—understanding self-defense laws, knowing where you can and can't carry, understanding permit requirements. This is especially critical in DC, where carry regulations are strict and violations carry real penalties.

Firearm Safety as Foundation Safety protocols are built into every course: proper handling, storage, accident prevention, and responsible carry practices. Instructors address questions and concerns rather than rushing through material.

DMV CARRY employs experienced instructors with diverse backgrounds who bring real-world knowledge to the classroom. They create a supportive learning environment that works for absolute beginners and experienced shooters alike.

Classes are interactive, scenario-based, and designed for the realities of carrying in the DMV region. You get personalized attention and the chance to ask questions in real-time—critical when dealing with permit applications that have strict compliance requirements.

DMV CARRY doesn't just teach the course and send you on your way. Their team provides continued support through the entire permit application process: - Understanding jurisdiction-specific requirements - Preparing your application materials - Troubleshooting common submission problems - Guidance on DC MPD's new online firearms portal - Renewal process assistance

DC MPD rolled out an online Firearms Permit Application Portal that streamlines concealed carry applications and renewals. DMV CARRY helps clients navigate this system, including: - Submitting CCL applications and renewals online - Uploading required documents (training certificates, proofs of residency) - Scheduling in-person appointments for fingerprinting and photos - Tracking application status through the portal

Maryland HQL Renewals: DMV CARRY also provides guidance on Maryland Handgun Qualification License renewals. Good news: most renewals require no additional training, no live-fire qualification, and no new fingerprints if MSP has them on file.
