becareful with that advice right now, the stats aren't going to help much and the denial that is sure to come on most cases might prohibit the denied person from getting permits in other states that have questions on their application like "have you ever been denied a firearms permit before?"
There are conflicting reports on if being denied for a Maryland CCW affects your applications.
Some have reported it raises a red flag; while others have reported that Maryland's attitude is own and a denial can be ignored if it was for the subjective part.
