    Would getting your FL non-resident CCW license exempt you from having to get an HQL?

    In a word NO - you need a Maryland CCW now that would get you an HQL at no cost - just apply online

    Not saying the CCW would exempt me, but the class and live fire portion along with getting finger printed.

    I gave the FL as an example because it requires live fire. Doesn't SB281 allow for different training classes to be substituted for the HQL class as long as you also get your MD law portion?

    Don't use lOgic when dealing with Maryland gun laws. What you think the common sense thing is is not in Maryland.

    None of your Florida stuff is valid.

    When you get to the part where you actually start filling out the application it tells you that you choose the "exempt" status for individuals with a MD CCW. There is no cost involved and you do not have to get fingerprinted.

    Training class has to meet the state of Maryland's criteria. Which right now is DNR class or people who have applied to be accepted. Fingerprint requirement will be exempt for the select few. That in itself is part of the lawsuits.

    No but taking the Maryland HQL course with the required live fire would give you the needed course to also apply for the Florida permit.

    If you have a FL permit, would it be safe to assume that you already own a regulated gun in the state of MD? That would exempt you from the training requirement.

    Exactly.

    When it got to the part where it would normally ask for a CC#, there was no button to click on. It just went right to the next page and said something to the effect of all charges have been applied to my CC. But I never gave them a CC#.

    So AFAICS, no charges or fees at all if you already have a CCW. Which, IMHO, there shouldn't be. We've already jumped through the same hoops - and then some - for the state.


    Now my question is; if we are "exempt", will we still get some sort of HQL card? Or will we just show our CCW instead to make a purchase?

    You'll still get a card. I think the site was so poorly arranged that they couldn't fit another category in there so they lumped us with the exempt choice because in the future the app for ccw will have a check box requesting HQL. Of course they haven't considered that a 10yr HQL and 3 yr ccw won't expire at the same times.
