NRA/MSP Instructor - Maryland Handgun Permit Opportunity

CypherPunk · Sep 1, 2015

For those of you wishing to become NRA Basic Pistol Instructors - there are currently quite a few benefits.

1. You can teach the NRA Basic Pistol Class
2. After successful completion, you can apply to the Maryland State Police for a Certified Qualified Handgun Instructor LICENSE. This is done entirely online and no fee or fingerprints are a required.
3. MSP is on record that the INTENT to conduct business meets the G&S requirements for issuance of a MD handgun permit. (Montoya v. MSP)
4. A MSP Certified Qualified Handgun Instructor License is a State issued license.

We have seen numerous MSP Certified or Licensed Qualified Handgun Instructors receive Maryland Handgun Permits. Restrictions typically read something like: while actively engaged as a/financial transactions as a/ Certified Firearms Instructor, or while transporting firearms or ammunition.

All classes held at http://www.frederickiwla.org

NRA Basic Instructor Training (Basic Instructor Training) $75
Thursday, September 3 & Friday, September 4 - 6:30 p.m. to 10 p.m both days.

NRA Basic Pistol Instructor $100
Saturday, September 5 - 8 a.m. to Finish

This is very interesting, I was told being an MSPQHI was not a reason for a permit by the MSP.

Hopefully things changed for the better.

That certainly is a good incentive and the pricing is good. I just wish you weren't so far away.

There are several people on this board with MHP's based solely on MSPQHI License status.

Do you really expect the MSP to provide you with accurate, unbiased info?

Timing is always the issue. Can't make these dates. More soon?

The QHI per se doesn't entitle you. The Training Business that you will be conducting with it would.

Respectfully, that's wrong.

I could name at least three people who teach, who do so without charge, or as part of a non-profit org team.

None of them have a "training business", and all have MHPs.

They all have a palpable need.

Perhaps my thinking is limited, but the restrictions seem to make it a part time permit. If your not engaged in those specific activities, you are not authorized to carry. Again, I am somewhat new to this shell game so please be gentle.

Ben, I just left you a voicemail...

Biggfoot44 · Sep 2, 2015

Essentially all non-politician, non-retired LE Permits are "part time" .

You're missing the part about "while transporting guns or ammo". Any time you put a gun on your hip, you are within your restrictions.

I am also new to this. Would you only be able to carry while instructing a class?

Prerequisites for this?

One would not carry a loaded weapon while instructing a class. The only time one would have a loaded weapon is at the range making sure it's either holstered, muzzle pointed in a safe direction or when shooting. If MSP issues Wear & Carry permits to Instructors it most likely will lean more towards transport/financial end. Chris

I used to use this reasoning, but one of my instructor friends was told by the MSP that you must be transporting at least one other gun besides your carry piece.
