Full description and what we offer
Capital Firearms Training specializes in Maryland's mandatory handgun licensing courses. Their instructors are former law enforcement officers, all Maryland Certified Firearms Instructors and NRA-certified—not just range safety officers teaching from a script.
| Course | Duration | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Maryland HQL | 4 hours | $160 | State law, firearm safety, handgun operation, live fire qualification |
| CCW Original | 16 hours (2 days) | $300 | Full Maryland law, home safety, operation, 70% minimum accuracy requirement |
| CCW Renewal | 8 hours | $220 | Satisfies renewal requirements with live fire qualification |
Classes fill quickly and are available by appointment only at three locations: Bowie, Greenbelt, and Largo.
This isn't generic firearms training. Capital Firearms Training emphasizes skill-based instruction with firearm safety as the foundation. Their background in law enforcement means they teach real-world decision-making alongside marksmanship fundamentals. Students of any skill level are welcome—from first-time handgun buyers to those renewing existing permits.
They offer both group classes and individualized one-on-one training depending on your needs and pace. The focus stays constant: you need to demonstrate safe handling and hit your qualification targets (minimum 70% accuracy for CCW).
If you're buying a handgun in Maryland, you need the HQL certificate first—that's what Capital Firearms Training's 4-hour course covers. If you want to carry concealed, you then need the CCW training (16 hours for initial, 8 for renewal). Both courses include live fire at a range, so bring hearing and eye protection.
