Firearm Safety and Responsible Ownership
Know More. Do More. Protect What Matters.
At DMV CARRY, firearm safety is more than something we teach in the classroom—it is the foundation of responsible firearm ownership..
We are committed to helping firearm owners throughout Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia develop safe habits, understand the importance of secure firearm storage, prevent unauthorized access, continue their education, and make responsible decisions at home, at the range, and in the community.
Safety begins with training, but it continues every day.
Our Commitment to Firearm Safety
DMV CARRY was built around a simple principle: responsible firearm ownership requires more than meeting the minimum requirements for a permit.
Our responsibility as firearm instructors is to help students develop the knowledge, habits, judgment, and respect necessary to safely own, store, transport, and handle firearms.
That commitment extends beyond our students. Through education, community outreach, safe-storage awareness, and partnerships with trusted safety organizations, DMV CARRY works to make practical firearm-safety information available throughout the communities we serve.

Secure Storage Is Part of Responsible Ownership
