CROSS POST WARNING

Trooper M did my interview today at Aviation boulevard barracks. Theses are the questions I can remember.

QUESTION Answer
Do you drink alcohol ----------------------Yes Rarely
Do you use drugs--------------------------No
What firearm do you plan to carry-------Kahr cw45
Do you have any training-----------------No, I belong to an indoor range I reload and
regularly fire 300-500 rounds a month.
Are you married----------------------------No
Do you have a girl friend you live with--Yes


My Girlfriend came with me to the interview and the Trooper asked to speak to her for a few minuets before we left. Also in regards to how frequently I went to the range the Trooper looked mildly interested perhaps at a personal level but did not comment further. He then stated he processes the app checks the references then packs it up and sends it on down the line "I'm paraphrasing" And his involvement in the process ends at that point. When I told him what firearm I would carry he told me they would be switching over to Glock from Bretta soon. The trooper was very professional and I in no way felt pressured or intimidated by the questioning or interview process in general. Overall a very pleasant experience I felt as if I was being taken seriously and treated respectfully.

References were contacted today

I had my interview today at the Bel Air barracks. The trooper was very cordial and we even briefly discussed firearms after the interview. The questions were just as others have stated. Within an hour or so after our interview, he phoned my employer and my spouse. So, at this point, I think everything is finished other than waiting to hear the results of the legal battle.

While the Board indicated it might wait for further court guidance before completing action on my appeal, I stated that I did not consent to their not issuing a decision in my case in the ordinary course. Will let you know what happens.

Did you hear from the board?

He also asked how many firearms I owned and made a copy of my Utah permit.

He ended by saying after he typed everything up it goes to pikesville and gave me a number to call to check on the status. He told me my permit had a deadline of 4/19 but he would have it in Pikesville by Monday. He said he has no real bearing on if its denied or approved but wished me luck.

When did they receive your app?

And, whats the point? Isn't alcohol still a legal drug?

Well sure it is, and they want to find out if you legally enjoy that legal drug every hour of every day

Everyone is being told that everyone will l have to have a face to face. They want to see who they are dealing with

I know it sounds crazy to us but to them a bad driving record shows them if you're the kind of person that follows the law or not.

No that just shows them that you have been caught, I'm sure there a lot of people who break laws who are never caught, all this is is kinda like strong-arming someone.

A Secret Service investigater told me your driving record is used to see if you think following the laws is important to you or are you a person that bends and breaks laws.

Do you happen to know why the trooper said deadline of 4/19?
Interesting in that it coincides with the court deadline.

Which is only against the AG today.

Could it be, they are just as clueless?

Still haven't heard a blessed thing from them...

Live in the Rockville Area...

I wonder if answering that you have been arrested causes issues, even if you have never been conviected, etc.? -semi smile-

Don't forget, you DL number is also used to pull up all regulated firearm purchases that take place while you've lived in Maryland.

Any officer can call in and get that info...
