I am a professional law enforcement officer or member of the military with extensive training with firearms. Do I have to take the Hunter Ed course?
Yes. Maryland law (and most, if not all, other states) has no provision for granting exceptions to the Hunter Ed requirement. This is partly because of the differences in training that can exist and the fact that hunting laws and other hunting related topics differ significantly from those related to other firearms training issues. The Hunter Ed course taught by our teaching team is a nationally adopted course, with uniform course content regardless of where it is offered in the USA, Mexico, or Canada.
