I thank everyone for the responses, I have a colt 1911 combat elite, and RIA officer along with several other 40's and 9's etc. Just saw it and wanted opinons. Still have to decide but this forum is helping. Again thank you all.
I sent mine in about a month ago by fax. Called MSP Thursday they said I was approved (there is a "Y" next to my name she told me) but letter has not gone out yet. Not sure how long before letter shows up.
If I live in West Virginia and work a 24 hour shift in Maryland can I transport my handgun secured in my car if I am going to a Maryland Range when I get off work in the Morning?
