Nope, only for initial HQL. So, you only get one for free.Well based on the reading if I let my HQL expire then I may get one for free…
Do you have a carry permit? HQL has been free with the permit, but I dunno about renewal.I got my HQL renewal notice today. Had to click a link to have them email me a code. Other than that it was cranky but figure-out-able. Paid my $20 and got an e receipt immediately.
The word "Initial" does NOT appear in State Statute.Nope, only for initial HQL. So, you only get one for free.

As mentioned a bunch in this thread, per State Statute, a renewal does not qualify as a free item under 5-306(e) of the Public Safety Article.Do you have a carry permit? HQL has been free with the permit, but I dunno about renewal.
I’m starting to become confused (nothing really new there) but this thread is about renewing the HQL permit, and we have multiple responses about how to enter HQL exempt status within the “HQL Renewal Form” on the state website. Why would we be “renewing” our HQL if in fact we are exempt from it in the first place?
While we're making sense, anyone with a W&C permit should not have a 7-day wait for new purchase either.
Seems kinda dumb that I can walk in a gun store with a concealed pistol on my belt but have to "cool off" for a week before they allow my new purchase to come home with me.

So then, if you let your HQL lapse, and then apply for one having a W&C permit, you should get it for free.No it doesn't.
When was your HQL going to expire? I got mine soon after the HQL became mandatory, so I need to check the expiration date because I am guessing it is sometime this year (2024). I have not received the HQL renewal notice yet but I need to keep on top of it and not let it expire. Thanks.I got my HQL renewal notice today. Had to click a link to have them email me a code.

If it comes from MSP, without any cite to Maryland State Statute, then it is MSP doing their usual administrative over reach, and making more out of State Statute than is actually there.I recall reading that the free option only applied to those who never had an HQL. I remember reading it, but now trying to find it, again. When I do, I’ll post link.
I may just inquire to MSP to save time.
Yes, I know that the HQL expires 10 years after it is given. What I was trying to understand is how many months before that 10 year expiry date can one expect to receive the renewal notice. I hope someone can provide me with an answer to that question. TIA.10 years from the date on your card.
You should receive the renewal notice by email 90 days prior to the expiration date on the HQL.Yes, I know that the HQL expires 10 years after it is given.
