Training for a MD Purchase Permit

If you don't get to waive your training requirement for the HQL, I wondered how do you find a trainer that will work to qualify?

Within 3 years prior to the submission of an HQL application, an applicant must demonstrate a satisfactory completion of a Firearms Safety Training Course. Qualified Handgun Instructors can be found online HERE. The Firearms Safety Training Course must be instructed by a Qualified Handgun Instructor, and shall consist of a minimum of 4 hours of instruction and include the following minimum curricula:

1. State Firearm Law. Overview of the State firearm laws, including discussion of what constitutes a regulated firearm, how to properly purchase or transfer a firearm, where allowed to carry or transport a firearm, when necessary to possess a carry permit, who is prohibited from possessing firearms, and state law relating to minors, permissible levels of force, and use of deadly force. 
2. Home Firearm Safety. Overview of handgun and firearm safety in the home, including discussion of access to minors, locking and storing of firearms, and use of safety devices, such as secure lock boxes. 
3. Handgun Mechanisms and Operation. Overview of the proper operation and safe handling of a handgun, including cleaning and maintenance, the loading and unloading of ammunition, and the differences between revolvers and semi-automatic handguns. 
4. Operation and Handling Demonstration. 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. An applicant may not be required to fire in excess of 15 yards during qualifications.

The web page to apply for an HQL has a handy link.   Put in a zip code and it spit out local teachers.  Remember that cop that died in downtown Silver Spring a few posts ago?  Here are all the instructors in that zip code.

CUNNINGHAM, BILLY JOE SILVER SPRING MD 20910
moreno, roberto edward Silver spring MD 20910

All both of them.

But there are others.  That's just one zipcode.  With a gun store in it.
