Castle Keepers

Castle Keepers handles the Maryland HQL and CCW (Handgun Permit) courses you need, but that's just the starting point. Their focus is building shooters who feel genuinely confident handling their firearm in a self-defense situation.

• •Maryland HQL Class - Required pre-purchase handgun training
• •Maryland CCW (Handgun Permit) - Full permit qualification course
• •DC CCW - Training for District of Columbia carry permits
• •Multi-State Carry Permit - Reciprocal permit guidance
• •Gun Shooting Practice - Dedicated shooting skill development
• •Women's Class - Instruction tailored for female shooters
• •Beyond the Permit - Advanced defensive training
• •Real Estate Agent Safety - Specialized training for professionals in the field

The difference between Castle Keepers and a checkbox training facility shows in how they approach each student. They want you to feel comfortable making the decision to carry. They want you fast and accurate with your draw. They want you to know how to carry safely, store responsibly, and pick the right firearm for your needs.

"If you want to develop a connection with your instructor who makes you feel comfortable in your decision to protect yourself" - that's Castle Keepers' pitch, and it's different from the permit mill approach.
