My friends daughter is a senior at the academy and wants a MD carry permit. Of course she doesn’t have a DD-214, is there a waiver for students attending a military academy?
I’m not sure they can be trusted…The last thing we want is members of our military to carry guns.
Benjamin Franklin and his fleet of cannon-armed privateers would beg to differ.Biden said 2nd amendment never covered battleships.

She is currently a recruit officer at the academy and will not actually be in the USCG until she is sworn in. The only thing she can do is get a letter from personnel stating she is a cadet and a copy of her shooting qualifications to attach with her application.My friends daughter is a senior at the academy and wants a MD carry permit.

I'm assuming OP referenced the Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD) and not the USCG Academy (New London, CT).She is currently a recruit officer at the academy and will not actually be in the USCG until she is sworn in.

Yep, Naval Academy. It will be illegal to upload her ID and considered active duty (didn’t know that), assume letter from administration stating she is a midshipman to upload to MDSP.I'm assuming OP referenced the Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD) and not the USCG Academy (New London, CT).

Not technically, they are.Midshipman is a rank. Midshipmen at the Naval Academy are technically in the US military.
They are not.Thread jack alert
Anyone now if an active ROTC scholarship student is considered active duty? That is once they contract.
Maybe we could call them Mini Squids/RustpickersNot technically, they are.
"The student body is known as the Brigade of Midshipmen. Students attending the U.S. Naval Academy are appointed to the rank of Midshipman and serve on active duty in that rank. A naval academy midshipman is classified as an officer of the line, though their exercise of authority is limited by their training status. Legally, midshipmen are a special grade of officer that ranks between Warrant Officer (W-1) and the lowest grade of Chief Warrant Officer (W-2)."
Being subject to the UCMJ makes them 100% in the military.
The only thing being that the 4 years doesn't go towards the 20 year retirement, but only for time in service for pay.
Right church wrong pew sorry about that. However the answer still is the same.I'm assuming OP referenced the Naval Academy (Annapolis, MD) and not the USCG Academy (New London, CT).
