At Top Notch Trainers, we're not just another firearms training company!

We're a community of dedicated experts, veterans, and Second Amendment advocates committed to providing the highest quality firearms education available. Here's what we're all about:

1. Unparalleled Expertise: Our team comprises the most qualified and experienced instructors in our region. From a Distinguished Expert Rifleman to a certified NRA Training Counselor, our staff brings a wealth of knowledge and practical know-how to every training session.

2. Safety First: While some may focus on maximizing student numbers, we place safety and quality above all else. We believe that a well-trained, responsible firearm owner is an asset to the community. That's why our courses are designed not just to teach you how to shoot but also to instill a deep understanding of firearm safety, ethics, and responsibility.

3. Law of Self Defense: As Law of Self Defense instructors, we provide you with the knowledge and tools you need to understand the legal aspects of self-defense. Your safety doesn't stop at the range; it extends to knowing your rights and responsibilities under the law.

4. Second Amendment Advocacy: We're passionate about protecting and preserving your Second Amendment rights. As the State Director of the DC Project, we're on the front lines advocating for your rights in our nation's capital as well as in Annapolis each year. In addition, we proudly support organizations like Maryland Shall Issue, Gun Owners of America, Second Amendment Foundation, Firearms Policy Coalition, and are NRA Life members. Our advocacy efforts go beyond the classroom, as we work tirelessly to support and defend our fundamental freedoms outlined in the Constitution and Bill of Rights.

5. Diversity and Inclusion: TNT is proud to have a diverse team, including women and veterans who understand the unique needs and perspectives of different communities. We're committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all our students.

6. Quality Over Quantity: While we're serious about our mission, we don't believe in compromising on quality for the sake of quantity or profits. Our classes are designed to ensure that every student receives the personal attention and instruction they need to become safe, responsible firearm owners.

7. Comprehensive Services: In addition to our training programs, we have a gunsmith and FFL owner as part of our team, ready to assist with your firearm needs, from repairs and customization to transfers and purchases.

8. Perfect for All Skill Levels: Whether you're so new that you haven't even held a gun yet and might be feeling a bit scared or you're seeking advanced tactics like serious force-on-force Ultimate Training Munitions (UTM) and shoot/no-shoot simulation training, TNT has the right program for you. For beginners, we offer a welcoming and supportive environment to ease you into firearms education. For more advanced students, our cutting-edge training simulations will challenge your skills and decision-making in a safe and controlled environment.

9. Kinesthetic Awareness and Self-Defense Judgement: Our training goes beyond marksmanship. Through our advanced simulations, you'll develop kinesthetic awareness, learning to move effectively and confidently in self-defense situations. You'll also delve into the complex realm of judgment, where split-second decisions can mean the difference between safety, danger and/or legal woes.

10. Ethical and Transparent: At TNT, we believe in honesty and transparency. Unlike some other companies, we're committed to empowering our students with knowledge that goes beyond the shooting range. We make it our mission to ensure you're well-informed about opportunities to save money and make the most of your training.

For instance, we'll show you how to save on the cost of livescan prints, a crucial step in obtaining your Handgun Qualification License (HQL) from the state of Maryland. Some unscrupulous businesses might keep this information from their clients to profit from extra fees. But at TNT, we're dedicated to your success, not just in the classroom but also in navigating the administrative aspects of firearm ownership.
