Founded by Chris Chaney, CC Firearms was built on the principle of providing accessible, civilian-focused firearm services. Chaney, alongside his son Skyler, who leads the Cerakote division, has cultivated a business that emphasizes transparency and customer education. Their approach includes offering Maryland Wear & Carry (Conceal Carry) courses, basic pistol classes, and self-defense training, with plans to introduce women-only classes led by female instructors. This educational focus aims to create a comfortable and empowering environment for all clients.

The shop’s inventory encompasses a wide range of firearms, from AR-15 pistols to shotguns and handguns suitable for self-defense.

Their commitment to fairness is evident in their consignment process, ensuring mutually beneficial agreements for all parties involved.

Beyond sales, CC Firearms boasts a full-service machine shop equipped with 3D printers, fiber and CO2 lasers, mills, and lathes. This in-house capability allows them to perform comprehensive gunsmithing services, including barrel threading, laser engraving, and firearm restoration. Their Cerakote application services are particularly noteworthy, offering customers the ability to customize and protect their firearms with durable, high-quality finishes.

Community engagement is a cornerstone of CC Firearms’ philosophy.
