Boom Boom Firearms Training, LLC was created in September 2017 to provide professional training to our security personnel licensed throughout the District of Colombia (DC), Maryland, and Virginia.  As an initiative requested by the many students training through Team Boom Boom, we were asked to standup a Gun Shop where students can receive safe and trusted firearms training and purchase their firearm, at the same time; thus, in December 2022, Boom Boom Firearms FFL was created, which is in the one-percentile, being one of two black female-owned FFL in the state of Maryland, out of a total of 433 FFLs, and certified by the ATF and Maryland State Police.
