Hey guys,
I have been reading your posts about MD CCW. I aslo read the MSP/MD requirement for a CCW, has that been changed or al least relaxed? in your posts about the 5 people who applied, 3/5 got their CCW, but what did the say their reason was? When I lived in Virginia I was active duty and got mine in 30 days, however here it's very different. Please advise. Thanks.

Your questions have no simple quick answers. It appears that there may be some changes, although small at the moment, in how some of the interpretations of the regulations are being applied. There are also hopes these changes will become bigger and continue. These changes are the result of several initiatives that are ongoing and are being followed in numerous threads simultaneously. Your best bet to understand the situations and keep up to date is to do a lot of reading in this forum and at Maryland Shall issue web site. Then get involved and join the fight.
Here are some references to help you get up to speed. There are many other threads that touch on various aspects of the permit process but these will help you get up to speed on where some changes are being seen and are mostly chronological so you can see the progress over time:
