Hello from eastern shores

fotografiti · May 6, 2018

Hi, having joined a while back and lurked seeking knowledge, I now have many more questions than I started with.
Hoping to find others with interests in older guns. Big fan of military weapons and there development around the world from mid 1800s to WWII.
Oh and if anyone has info on getting my HQL on the eastern shore, a local contact would be appreciated

Welcome aboard! It would be helpful to know an approximate area on the shore you are looking for an HQL contact.

Welcome!

What part of the Eastern Shore? There are several good HQL instructors up and down the shore

fotografiti · May 6, 2018

I am near Easton MD. Don't mind traveling a little.

Seagrave1963 · May 6, 2018

The Gunfather in Denton often hosts HQL classes - they have a Facebook presence where they post class dates/times.

fotografiti · May 6, 2018

Thanks for the welcome. I live just outside Easton in Talbot co. Thanks for the links, Dave. I need to look through and see how to post some pictures.

fotografiti · May 6, 2018

I have passed the Gunfather store a few times. Ill stop in next time i'm up there. I don't do facebook though!

Welcome aboard, fotografiti! Must be a neighbor. I'm in the Denton area. You asked about HQL classes. I got mine from Caroline Shooting Academy. Dan is an excellent instructor and he has a great on-site range to go with it. His facebook page might be worth a look. https://www.facebook.com/CarolineShootingAcademy/

Have done business with the Gunfighter and with Black Anchor Armory. Both are fine local Denton businesses if you're interested in purchasing a gun.

Dan's HQL class is an even greater infringement of your rights than our onerous laws. Dan requires higher display of proficency than MD requires for HQL.

Its nice to offer more instruction for free, its wrong to demand students exceed the legal requirement before granting the certificate.

fotografiti · May 7, 2018

I didn't realize there were so many choices around here. Thanks for the info and the welcomes.

Mark, you must me referring to some other Dan than Dan Nelson. I took my HQL training at Caroline Shooting Academy and there were no requirements other than the standard HQL requirements.

If I'm wrong, I'd like to hear more details to your complaint.

Mark75H · May 7, 2018

He told me he would not issue a HQL certificate to a student who only fired one shot.

Oh, that. I was really happy to be able to fire more than one shot. To me it was a privilege to be able to fire 50 or so shots at Dan's range. Why would you want to fire only one shot?

The HQL application page states that the course include: "Orientation component that demonstrates the person’s safe operation and handling of a firearm, to include a “live fire” component in which the applicant safely shoots the weapon." Seems that number of rounds fired to pass this can be at the discretion of the instructor. Just a thought.
