The two-day Maryland Wear & Carry classes are held on Thursday-Fridays, at least once a month. For those not available on weekdays, we also offer a split class, where Day 1 is on the last Saturday of the month, and Day 2 is on the first Saturday of the following month. To sign up for these classes, select the DAY 1 DATE on the calendar – this will sign you up for both days.
If an advertised date is not showing on the calendar, that indicates that the class is full. If you wish, please call the range to be put on a cancellation list.
