I am a bit unclear about something. If you have your phone interview, they speak with your spouse, etc. Do you still have a follow-up FTF interview? Is the phone interview IT?

I got my call yesterday around 5:30 Pm. But I missed it trooper left his name and number on my voice mail. Sounded pleasant enough I will be contacting him today
Called the Trooper back have my interview set up for Friday
Good Luck!I understand that it is his job to make a judgement on an applicants character.
Even though that should have NOTHING to do with the permit process.

About the only time the state worries about this part of the state is when taxes are due!!

But that is a fact of life in MD. I just get a kick out of these troopers that are telling many of the guys that ask if they have anything to do with the out come. And they act as if or say that they do not have anything to do with the approval or not.
If they get a bad vibe from you, it does not matter if it's justified or not...Guess what
For example you answer on the app if you have issues with booze and you answer no, but you go to your interview smelling like a bar room.
Yeah, don't feel bad.
5 applicants that I know who applied out of Saint Marys County (end of the earth in SoMD) has heard a whole lot of nothing also.

application received on 27th March, check cashed and finger print letter received.
I know it'll be awhile, but I can wait of a good thing.

The trooper who did my ftf interview specifically said that he had no clue what the final decision is on permits for the folks he interviews. He just does the interviews and initial paperwork, then it gets passed along to the next step in the process.

Sounds like good and substantial BS to me.
I don't want a phone call. I hope judge legg tells them to issue the damn permits and I just get it in the mail one day. (the way it should be)

There is most likely a few senior troopers that are in charge of the hand gun section and it is their signature that is most likely needed for a ccw approval after the investigation is complete.
Also I bet they only meet after there are a stack of application ready for their approval. I'm guessing the investigating trooper's will summarize in their report if the applicant meets whatever standards they want us to meet, and may note there is or is no reason to not approve the app.
I'm also guessing that unless their is something the investigating trooper noted as a possible issue that should be looked at by the senior troopers, I think the senior troopers will just sign off on the app and will not rehash it, relying on the judgment of the investigation trooper.
OR... I could be COMPLETLY WRONG! This is just what I think happens.
If I'm only half right, it may be technically true that the investigating troopers we will be dealing with are not the people who do the final approval, but I bet not only do they know who the senior troopers that do sign on the dotted line are, they also know what they put down in the investigation note has EVERYTHING to do with you getting your ccw or not unlike what they seem to claim.
So the investigating troopers are not the innocent bystanders they seem to want us to believe.

I don't think any of us will live long enough to see that in MD.

In general, is it any harder or easier for an out of state resident to get a ccw?
We will. It may take a couple of years. The MSP is going to have to change how they do things. They don't have the man-power to continue with their current permitting scheme. Also, once G&S is gone, the only thing they can use to reject you is a criminal history/severe mental illness (that's another story). This is a fundamental right, and the government can only restrict is in very specific circumstances. There will be no need for an interview. You can be a smelly mountain man who is abrasive and dislikes the police, but if you have no criminal history or serious mental illness (very narrowly defined), they can't keep you from getting a permit.
