Molon Labe Firearm Trainers

Molon Labe Firearm Trainers operates out of Snow Hill, Maryland with instructors who bring real-world credentials to the classroom. Their teaching staff includes current and former military personnel, police officers, correctional officers, and self-defense experts.

They focus on getting you the specific training required for your state's weapons permit. That's their core mission—not generic firearms education, but the exact curriculum that puts you in compliance with your state's laws.

Maryland Certifications: - Maryland HQL (Handgun Qualification License) - Required since October 1, 2013 before you can purchase or receive any handgun in Maryland - Maryland Wear & Carry - Concealed carry permit training - Maryland Wear & Carry Renewal - When your permit expires

Multi-State Non-Resident Permits: - Arizona CWP (Concealed Weapons Permit) - Delaware CCDW (Concealed Carry/Deadly Weapon) - Florida CWL (Concealed Weapons License) - Utah CFP (Concealed Firearm Permit) - Virginia CHP (Concealed Handgun Permit) - both resident and non-resident

Classes typically run 10-20 students with a maximum instructor-to-student ratio of 1:10. On the range, you get one-on-one instruction.

They sell equipment to help you train between classes:

• •SIRT Pistol (Model 110) - $255 - Laser-based dry fire training tool (Glock 17/22 compatible)
• •SIRT STIC - $255 - Mounts your SIRT pistol inside an AR platform for AR-based dry fire training
• •Dummy Ammo - $12 per 5-pack - Available in .308, .38, .380, .40, .45, 12ga, 223/5.56, and 9mm
• •Cleaning Supplies - Mats in multiple sizes ($14-22) and Shooter Lube Stage 1 & 2 products
• •B-27 Targets - $1 per pack
• •Molon Labe T-Shirts - $25-29 (2XL+ adds $2)

They handle the administrative burden—fingerprints, photos, and permit paperwork help are all available on-site.

"Is the HQL course good for me if I've never held a gun before? Yes. This class is designed for the person who is unfamiliar with guns."

They accept students as young as minors (with a parent/guardian in class). Their FAQ makes clear they're not gatekeeping—just making sure you're comfortable with the responsibility.

For outdoor range classes: comfortable flat shoes, pants, layers (weather changes), sunglasses or prescription glasses, hat, sunblock, ear protection (they provide it if you don't), and lunch. Heavy rain may cancel class for safety reasons.

No steel core, steel jacketed, or tracer ammunition allowed. Copper washed or full metal jacket rounds are acceptable. If you're taking intermediate or advanced classes, you need your own handgun and holster—they don't loan equipment for specialized training.

• •Important Note: Completion of training does not guarantee permit approval. All applicants are interviewed by their respective state, and the state makes the final determination.
