With a deep-rooted passion for responsible firearm usage, Gary is dedicated to sharing his extensive knowledge and experience with individuals of all skill levels.

Gary's journey into the world of firearm training began as a father’s commitment to teaching his son the importance of firearm responsibility and safety. This desire blossomed into MMC, where he and a team of skilled professionals from law enforcement, military, corporate security, and legal fields provide expert-level training.

MMC offers a range of courses, including handgun, rifle, shotgun, and archery training, as well as certification programs for Maryland HQL, Wear & Carry, DC Concealed Carry, and VA Concealed Carry permits. In addition, they certify students for multi-state non-resident permits in states like Utah, Florida, Arizona, and others.

Safety is at the heart of all MMC courses, with a focus on practical skills for personal defense and conflict resolution. In addition to firearms training, MMC also offers workshops on personal protection plans, legal use of force, and strategies for handling high-pressure situations like road rage or workplace confrontations.

MMC’s expertise extends beyond training, providing private investigative, personal protection, and security services to both residential and commercial clients, ensuring peace of mind and safety for all.
