Our Services
Public Safety & Self-Defense Certification
At Trusty Training Solutions, our Maryland Wear and Carry Permit Class isn’t just about learning how to shoot, it’s about giving everyday people the tools, knowledge, and confidence to stay safe and protect what matters most.
This 16-hour course covers much more than firearms. We dive into conflict avoidance, de-escalation, and Maryland laws because knowing when and how to act responsibly is just as important as knowing how to use a firearm.
Taught by certified, faith-rooted instructors who truly care, our classes are designed for real people such as women, seniors, and hardworking folks who are often overlooked. Whether you prefer a public class, private group session, or 1-on-1 training, we’ve got an option that fits your needs.
By the end of the class, you’ll walk away with practical skills, a deeper legal understanding, and the confidence to make smart, safe decisions. We’re here to help you be your own first responder and part of a safer, stronger Maryland.

Less Lethal Weapons Training
Trusty Training Solutions offers a comprehensive Less Lethal Weapons Training Course designed to enhance public safety and promote responsible self-defense through the lawful use of non-lethal force options such as pepper spray (OC) and TASER devices. This program is open to licensed security personnel and everyday citizens seeking practical, non-lethal alternatives for personal protection.
Participants learn how to legally carry and deploy less-lethal tools, recognize appropriate use-of-force scenarios, and de-escalate high-stress encounters without resorting to deadly force. The training also includes aftercare procedures, situational judgment training, and state-specific legal considerations.
This course supports community safety efforts by equipping individuals with effective, life-preserving tools that reduce the risk of injury to both defender and subject. By training both professionals and the public, we create safer streets, safer schools, and safer places of worship.
As part of our broader violence prevention and public education initiative, this course helps fill a critical gap in non-lethal self-defense training across Maryland, especially in underserved communities where safety resources are limited.
