Full description and what we offer
IBW Safety and Firearms Academy focuses on one thing: making sure gun owners understand their firearm and their responsibilities. They teach Maryland concealed carry requirements, permit qualifications, and basic shooting fundamentals—all in-person at their Annapolis location.
Their course lineup covers the permits and safety training most people in the Mid-Atlantic actually need:
"Their set of trainers are supremely professional and knowledgeable" — Student review
The academy emphasizes that instructors are experienced professionals. They also note a unique angle: instruction that encompasses classroom, field, and input from mental health professionals (particularly relevant given the suicide prevention component in their curriculum).
IBW's stated mission: "Safety in firearms training and usage is always first. We will develop the novice, refresh the intermediate and challenge the experienced through our courses."
They're not legal professionals, but they make sure you understand the legal complexities of gun ownership in Maryland—which actually matters given how strict Maryland's permitting system is.
