This is posted for those individuals which have retired from the U.S. Military and desire to obtain their LEOSA Credentials/ID, if they have the required time in the required Military Occupational Specialties (MOS). I was able to obtain the credential/ID, however I needed to complete the “Weapons Qualification Training” portion. The Maryland State Police website is not very helpful when looking to obtain/fulfill the “Weapon Qualification Training”.
The Maryland “Wear and Carry Permit” webpage in the State Police Licensing Division, states you are exempt from the Maryland State Police approved firearms training course and Wear and Carry Permits may be issued to any adult (18 years of age or over) who meets their criteria. This does not apply to the LEOSA Credential/ID. If you are a Maryland resident you could obtain the “Weapons Qualification Training”, from the local sheriff department if they permit it. Maryland State Police will not provide such training. That responsibility rests with Maryland’s Department of Public Safety and Correctional Services. Additional information and class application may be found at https://mdle.net/firearms_A.htm. I hope you find this information useful.
