About Us
Mission Statement
Tier 1 Academy’s mission is simple: self-defense is a human right, and we are here to provide American citizens with the knowledge and training to legally and effectively protect themselves. As a community, we live in a world with crime rates that rise daily and a justice system that has become soft on crime. This, in turn, makes them soft on our protection as well. The responsibility of protecting ourselves, our loved ones, and our
homes has fallen on us. We will ensure that citizens are prepared for real world dangers.
Certified Instructors
Our instructors are NRA and USCCA certified handgun instructors. Our instructors have years of experience with firearms, and extensive knowledge of Maryland laws pertaining to firearms and Concealed Carry
Getting your CCW Made Easy!
We make getting your CCW easy by providing all the necessary documentation and equipment. We provide application assistance, ammunition, eye & ear protection, and a firearm for the range qualification included in the course cost! Lastly, we do provide in-house fingerprinting.
Flexible Days
Our mission is to provide students with knowledge and skills to safely handle firearms for self-defense, and to protect their loved ones.
