    After completing the live fire class for my Florida CCP I accidentally left my drivers license at the range. I went to the police station to get fingerprinted and they accepted my HQL as a photo ID.

    And here I thought it was a waste of my time getting it...... :)

    Just did my class for the Florida CWP (carry permit) the other day. The laws here are so much more sensible than the PRM's.

    Some of the liberals where I work where all up in arms because CCW permits were accepted as ID to vote in some state.

    I was dreaming the other night about getting one.


    And then I woke up and remembered I was in Indiana. :poke:

    You mean you had a nightmare that you were in MD (and needed the HQL) and awoke to the dream come true of being somewhere else with your freedom still intact.

    Little know use for the HQL

    It allows for legal open carry (but not loaded vehicle carry) in Michigan by a Maryland resident. If you go to Detroit you might just need it. Michigan honors ZERO non-resident permits. Michigan only allows open carry for non-residents under certain circumstances one of which is for a person who has been issued a license to purchase a handgun by their state of residence. See the full bulletin for transport requirements.

    See below or (bulletin is attached):

    Out-of-state residents

    Non-residents may legally possess a firearm
    more than 30 inches in length in Michigan. In
    order for a non-resident to possess a pistol in
    Michigan, he or she must either be licensed to
    carry a concealed pistol or be licensed by his or
    her state of residence to purchase,
    carry, or
    transport a pistol. The ownership of property in
    Michigan does not qualify a non-resident to
    possess a pistol in Michigan.

    Non-resident concealed pistol possession

    MCL 750.231a makes it legal for a non-resident
    of Michigan with a valid CPL issued by his or her
    state of residence to carry a concealed pistol in
    Michigan as long as the pistol is carried in
    conformance with any and all restrictions
    appearing on the license. Individuals with out of
    state CPLs are subject to Michigan laws that
    govern Michigan CPL holders. As many states
    issue CPLs to out of state residents, officers
    should verify that the person actually resides in
    the state that issued the license. If the person
    does not reside in the state that issued the
    license, Michigan does not recognize the CPL
    and the person may not carry a concealed pistol
    in Michigan.

    Possession of pistols by non-residents

    MCL 28.432 makes it legal for non-residents of
    Michigan who hold valid CPLs issued by another
    state to possess a non-concealed pistol in
    Michigan without complying with Michigan’s
    pistol registration requirements. Additionally,
    MCL 28.422 exempts residents of other states
    from Michigan’s pistol registration requirements
    therefore, allowing them to possess a pistol in
    Michigan, if all of the following requirements are
    met:
    1. The person is licensed by his or her state of
    residence to purchase, transport, or carry a
    pistol,
    2. The person is in possession of the license while
    in Michigan,
    3. The person owns the pistol possessed in
    Michigan,
    4. The person possesses the pistol for a lawful
    purpose as defined in MCL 750.231a, and
    5. The person is in Michigan less than 180 days and
    does not intend to establish residency here.


    A non-resident must present the license issued
    by his or her state of residence to a police officer
    upon demand.
    Failure to do so is a 90-day
    misdemeanor. When transporting a firearm in
    Michigan, non-residents must transport pistols in
    compliance with MCL 750.231a (discussed
    above in the Transporting Firearms section)
    ,
    unless they have a concealed pistol license
    issued by their state of residence.

    WOW, good to know as I work in Michigan from time to time.
