Tyler Firearms positions itself on doing transfers right (no appointment, transparent fees) and teaching you to actually use what you buy (every class includes hands-on or live-fire). They've built a straightforward business model: sell firearms, process transfers, train people, accept consignments. That's it. No mystery fees, no corporate fluff.
If you're in Baltimore County or Anne Arundel County looking to transfer a gun or take a Maryland HQL or concealed carry course, you don't need to drive far.
