Last night I downloaded my LTCF forms, they were in a fillable pdf file so I didn't even have to do any writing. On my way to school this morning, the bus drops me off right by the sheriff's office so I popped in, paperwork and money in hand, and walked out of there 8 minutes later with my license. It was so easy that it nearly makes me ashamed of MD .

The police put you in a Long Term Care Facility. you must have done something really bad. At least they have MDShooters there.

Congrats!!!! Do a write-up on your first carry experience (hopefully uneventful, but I always find it interesting what thoughts go through people's minds)

The longest part of the wait time was split between waiting for NICS and the card to come out of the printer . It boggles my mind that I have a freedom that you don't and you're only 40 miles from me .

Off I-83

If you want to see a messed up system, drive north a few hours to NY. In order to own a handgun, you need a permit. It can take over six months for the paperwork to get processed and to be interviewed by a judge. During that time, you can't own a handgun. You can't go to a range and rent a handgun, because it has to be on your permit to be legal.

While I could never match Snave's eloquence, I say +1000.

I had to wait for Indiana State Police to mail my LTCH to me. Now it's finding a time to go over to the Albemarle Sheriff's Dept to get printed.

That little card does nothing for you south of the Mason-Dixon Line and north of the Potomac River

You have to get a PA Driver's License or State ID card first, and for that you need to prove residency. It took me 2 months after moving to PA until I could get my DL, but I had my LTCF within a few weeks. I still have it in my wallet... don't know how good it is though lol.

I just sent in my paperwork for my MD Permit to Carry yesterday... so hopefully I'll hear back soon about an interview. I have to read up on the application threads here...
