The Most Immersive Handgun Training in Maryland

We have trained over 20,000 Maryland citizens on using a firearm for personal protection. Whether for home protection or to carry a gun in public, we have one simple goal: to get you home and not to the prison cell or morgue.

ALL-INCLUSIVE Executive MPD DC Permit and Maryland Wear and Carry

2.5 days of training—beyond the requirement!

Our Executive Training

John Finnessy focuses solely on personal protection with a handgun. He is the creator of the M4 Carry Quadrant and on-range skill stacking. You will not find another instructor at this level.

This section is NOT for someone who is brand new to firearms.

If you have no experience, please begin with one of our public trainings or arrange a private training with similarly skilled individuals, and we will customize a training for you.

For our most discriminating clients, ask if a public training buy-out option is available.

Professional Premier

We offer this training with a limited number of students. The price for the training will reflect the number of people in the class, which ranges from 4 to 12 students.

This is the most intense wear and carry training in the state. We combine virtual, class, off-range, and live range training. The level of skill and understanding of the professional carry concept will be ingrained in you over 2.5 days of training.
