Course Information

Why is the training divided into two parts?

Hill Top Arms believes students learn best when they first build a strong foundation in firearm safety, handling, and marksmanship before focusing on Maryland’s legal requirements and concealed carry responsibilities. By separating foundational instruction (Part A) from the Maryland State Police curriculum (Part B), students arrive prepared to concentrate on the legal, ethical, and practical aspects of carrying a handgun responsibly.
