Course List

MD Handgun Qualification License Course- HQL

Heritage's Maryland Handgun Qualification Course utilizes classroom training, simulation labs, and live fire exercises to provide you with intensive training in a dynamic environment. The first two hours of this four-hour course consist of Heritage's Basic Handgun Course. The basic handgun portion is followed by two-hours of Maryland Firearm Law. In this course, you will receive hands-on-training with a Glock 17 beginning with a blue gun to practice fundamentals such as shooting grip and aiming. In Heritage's Simulation Lab, your mind will be put at ease as you experience the recoil of a 9mm handgun with our Co2 retrofitted Glock 17s. Only after you are comfortable with the recoil and operation of the firearm, will we move on to the range for a fifteen round live fire exercise. Instructors and Range Safety Officers actively ensure safe firearm handling as well as help you refine shooting fundamentals. Following the live fire exercise, you will return to the classroom for the 2-hour Maryland Law portion of the course. Maryland Certified Instructors clarify Maryland Law pertaining to the transportation of firearms, use of force, regulated firearms, and firearm purchasing. This two hour class combined with the two hour basic handgun course meets the four hour mandated MD HQL training requirement. The mandate requires that a Maryland Resident obtain a HQL license before he/she may purchase, rent or receive a regulated firearm. Does not include fingerprint fee ($52.75) and MSP application fee ($50) for license. Must be at least 21 years of age to participate in this course. For questions or concerns regarding HQL eligibility (including felony conviction, medical marijuana card, etc) please contact the Maryland State Police Licensing Division at 410-653-4500 before the day of the course.

Maryland Wear & Carry-Day 1

Heritage Maryland Wear & Carry Day #1 is the first of two days required to satisfy the Maryland mandated 16-hour training requirement. This 8-hour training course utilizes classroom training to assist you in developing and refining your personal protection plan which could soon include concealed carry. At Heritage, our instructors provide you the skillset to become more aware of your surroundings, and to prepare for violent encounters, but, if possible, to avoid them in the first place. But what if I did need to use my firearm in self-defense? What happens next? On Day #1 you will experience scenarios that will cause you to think of just how you handle the aftermath of a defensive shooting encounter. You will have the opportunity to develop and/or refine your carry equipment as you go hands on with modern day holsters, flashlights, and other gear that will ensure you are prepared for many different scenarios. Additionally, Maryland Certified Instructors will review Maryland Law, transportation of firearms, use of force, and holster draw.

Maryland Wear & Carry-Day 2

Heritage Maryland Wear & Carry Day #2 is the second of two training days needed to satisfy the Maryland mandated 16-hour training requirement. This intensive training utilizes classroom, simulation lab, and extensive live fire exercises to ensure you are prepared for a variety of scenarios.

Once these fundamentals are demonstrated in a 25-round live fire exercise, your instructor will review the different methods of target alignment (unsighted fire, flash sight picture, sighted fire) that are vital in defensive shooting scenarios. We then return to the range for an additional 25-round course of fire that focuses on increased accuracy and speed from the holster. After Lunch, students experience shooting in low light conditions utilizing proven techniques for flashlight utilization with a firearm. Then you will have the opportunity to shoot a course of fire utilizing dominant and non-dominant hand only. Day #2 culminates in the 25-round Maryland Wear & Carry Proficiency Course which has a minimum passing score of 70%.
