21 A firearm applicant is not required to complete a certified firearms training
22 course required under §§ 5–118 and 5–134 of this subtitle if the firearm applicant:
23 (1) has already completed a certified firearms training course required
24 under §§ 5–118 and 5–134 of this subtitle;
25 (2) is a law enforcement officer of the State or any local law
26 enforcement agency in the State;
27 (3) is a member, retired member, or honorably discharged member of
28 the armed forces of the United States or the National Guard;
29 (4) is a member of an organization that is required by federal law
30 governing its specific business or activity to maintain handguns and applicable
31 ammunition; or


here is the answer straight from SB281. retired or honorably discharged

That only relieved the honorably discharged veteran of the training requirement. He'll still need the license.
