This is an incredible opportunity to partner with other women in a trusting, open environment where even the instructors are all women. Every month we have a training day set aside for women only. We partner with women in the Mid-Atlantic region who are experts in their specialty. We have classes open to “women only” that are hugely successful.

Personal defense, conceal carry, home defense shotgun, AR, and handgun are just a few of the classes and workshops we offer to women. These classes are typically full when the minute they go live on the website.

Connecting with like-minded women is especially important in this industry. We facilitate that and more. Join us at our next event!
If you already have your HQL and pistol but are curious and want to know more, this is your class. We start with the basics of cover and concealment, proximity drills, how to perform three types of reloads, and how to fix malfunctions under stress.
The entire class is delivered on the range. We will take frequent breaks to “teach” a skill – then, you go and shoot the skill.
You’ll particularly learn about the Tueller drill and why it is so important.
First, we will learn to move, then shoot. By the end of the day, you will be moving and shooting at the same time. Safety is PARAMOUNT. Therefore, good discipline is Mandatory.

Having completed handgun I, you’ll be able to move onto handgun II. Steel, moving and difficult to hit targets are the nature of this day. Moving, stress, and fun all the while maintaining safety are the business of the day.
The range is your classroom for this class. We deliver practical drills meant to make you a better shooter. You’ll shoot a USPSA™ and/or an IDPA™ style match by the end of day two.
The classroom is the range. Again, we integrate teaching, a break, class, and then shooting to cover a particular topic. It really is a great way to learn.

It’s all about speed, accuracy, multiple targets, stress, and a dose of fun injected along the way. This is the culmination of our three handgun courses. It’s relevant to those who want to hone their skills.
Again, the range is your classroom for the day. The teaching never stops. It really is a continuation of the shooting experience.
Handgun III is designed to stress your shooting skills. While maintaining safety and accuracy, we will push your drawing and presentation to the limit. We will introduce you to shoot/no-shoot moving targets. This is not a class for the light-at-heart. You will be tired, you will be sore, but boy will you be happy!

Picking up where we left off in Carbine I, we start with inspecting the guns to make sure they are ready for the day. Carbine II we start to integrate 5 basic drills used by most tacticians. These drills deliver on speed, accuracy, and lethality. From here, we introduce the students to team communication and movement skills.
Failure drills are the flavor of the day. Included above are emergency and tactical reloads. We incorporate short and long range shots, moving targets, and cover and concealment drills to amplify your skills.

Are you thinking of buying a gun for home protection? If so, this is your class. We review Maryland law extensively with a lawyer present and we discuss situational material that empowers you to make the best decisions should a situation ever present itself. Basic Pistol is required to take this class.
We review the use of cover and concealment. More importantly, we try to discuss this relative to your home. We discuss when to call 911, when to run and/or hide, and how to warn a threat about the use of lethal force in your home.
The range is not very demanding but the psychology behind the drills demands that you pay particular attention to everything being done on the range. The practice drills are important to understand. Even more critical

I had a great time learning more about home defense and handling different types of hand guns with Ron. He has a nice collection of hand guns to use which help to become more comfortable with different calibers, gun weight, metal vs. resin etc. His classroom teaching is very good. Shooting on his outside range was fantastic. Shooting out doors is really nice, I prefer it to indoor ranges. I’ll be taking more of his classes in the near future.
David Bartley,
Ron exceeded my expectations with and professionalism and expertise. His attention to safety and detail was impressive. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for firearm training
Paul Manly,
Doesn’t get better than Ron David when comes to understanding gun safety and responsibility. You will not feel intimidated no matter what level of experience you have with guns. Ron’s program is informative, educational, and practical.
Marc Bruno,
Ron and his team go above and beyond to make sure every student is comfortable, capable and well informed! The classroom work is kept engaging and fun, and the range qualification is very safe and methodical. I will recommend ICEFDT to anyone looking for firearms training.

Donell Trusty,
I have attended Joint classes with the owner Ron instructing. He is obviously quite knowledgable. He is also extremely safety oriented while still maintaining a sense of humor and can switch hats on a dime. Having him on the range with you is always a plus and will put you at ease.
