MD issues permits to non residents but you must have G&S just like residents.

The money side should have me covered.. I’m just wondering if being a 1099’d subcontractor would fly. I don’t own the business I work but I am technically self employed

Mental health waiver

Seems MSP considers depression, PTSD, or other psychiatric conditions or treatment worthy of requiring your doctor sign off on a waiver, even though the new portal changed the wording of the question from any mental health issue to focusing on institutionalization.

Given the 10 days to get the signed waiver after they give you the notice and how fun it can be to get in to see a specialist on short notice, it might be good to get the waiver proactively before you apply.

Another way to prove clearance

Does anyone know of another way to prove Clearance level? My Security Manager is unable to provide that info since I am employed by a restricted customer. Any help would be appreciated.

This might be a stupid question. Does Maryland accept non-Resident Virginia Conceal Carry licenses now? I applied for Maryland Conceal Carry license 7 years ago and was denied for no reason. Is Maryland still denying residents from a Conceal Carry, or do you have to be a business owner still? Want to know before I waste my money again getting finger prints and application fees.

Wow. So all of these users on this message board that received maryland carry permits, it was for work purposes only, and not for personal protection. The Personal Protection reasoning is still getting denied? I guess I will not submit again if that is the case.

They claim if you have documented cases of death threats and other mayhem you may get one .

With the strong Trump economy and ease on regulations no better time to start a business LLC or Corp.
Can be something in live that you enjoy , turn a hobby into making money and paying taxes we all know the government loves our taxes .

Here’s a question someone may have ran into before. About a month and a half ago I submitted my application along with a letterhead from the company I work for, as well as a ton of bank deposit information. While I was doing that paperwork, I started working nights/weekends as a sole proprietor for extra income. I do automotive refinishing for a living. My side gig is filling in for shops who get backed up or have a painter out for vacation, training, etc. so all of my hours are 7pm-1am, or during the weekend. That job is much sketchier than depositing money for my day job since I’m at shops by myself, in some questionable places late at night. Now for my real question. When I go to my interview will they accept deposit slips from the last two months of me operating as a sole proprietor, as well as my time card I keep? I have about 10 deposits already, and none are chump change deposits. I wasn’t sure if they accept anything other than what you submitted originally. Thanks

Bring supplemental documents to the interview.

Take the additional information as it will provide proof that you're the owner of a business. Unless you have already provided the following, they will want you to provide your(sole proprietorship) company information from Md. SDAT and your FEIN. This will get you a non-restricted permit while your employee status may get you a restricted permit.

Mine is a full-spectrum personal protection permit, on the condition that it is no longer valid in the event my employment/security clearance status changes, as it was based on the "Substantive Reason" argument that I hold a federally recognized security clearance and my daily work entails dealing with classified protected information that could cause grave harm to the government if compromised.

Separately both my tax preparer and a lawyer friend (who has a MD W&C license) said that establishing an LLC for a side business was of no practical value/benefit (my side “business” generates less than $20k in any given year, sometimes significantly less). Does anyone have experience or advice with applying on the basis of being a “business” owner when the “business” is non-brick-n-mortar, non-LLC/non-Corp, and the actual revenue is so low? (I’ve got over 10 years of tax records reflecting my involvement with this business, though I’ve never separated it out from my personal income [likewise, no spectate banking records, etc.]). Thoughts?

You should have no problem getting the permit as a sole proprietor (rather than an LLC) if you can produce a couple of schedule C docs from your tax returns showing that you do generate and report income in that line of work. Definitely doesn’t have to be your main source of income.

My esteemed colleague from lower MoCo is correct. Search MDS for guy selling fishing rods out of the trunk of his car.

Have an LLC with 2 partners. Will MSP want to ask partners if they would allow carry at work?

Hey all, new member here, 1st post! I've been following this thread for a while, and recently started putting together my application. I'm on the last step of getting the letter from my security manager to verify employment and clearance, and my company is not sure if they want to provide the verification. Has anyone run into this? Is there something/someone else that I can reach out to, to verify my employment and such? Does this verification have to be on an official company letterhead? If my company could remove themselves from the situation they would most likely just give me the info, but they are currently going through the corporate office to see if they are able to provide the information given the "possibility of something blowing back on them" if I presumably were to go crazy. Any help appreciated!

Confirming your employment and clearance status are not the same as an endorsement for you carrying. You're using them to confirm facts, not as a character reference. Even those used as character references aren't on some legal hook if you were to become a nut and hurt somebody. Perhaps if their letter were to state in plain language, "The letter serves solely to confirm the fact of X's employment and his status as the holder of an X-level security clearance in his capacity as X."

Is your carry permit you get based on that part time employment only valid while you are doing that work?

Or is the permit valid 24/7 anywhere in Maryland (aside from specific places that prohibit guns)
