In reference to my initial original wear and carry application:
Had my interview with Sergeant Jones this week at the Licensing Division building in Pikesville.
Extremely professional and courteous. Great personality.
Entire interview took all of maybe 7-10 minutes.
I signed a document acknowledging truthfulness.
He asked a few questions regarding business, purpose of permit and frequency of bank deposits. Being a firearms dealer satisfied all of those questions.
Additionally, he asked questions related to marital status (Which he advised me take my time and referenced the black curtain to our right hiding an old rusted sink. He told me to look beyond the visual appeal of the curtain. [Sgt Jones has a great personality. Probably keeps civilian staff entertained.])
Other questions were related to drugs, alcohol, and confirmation that I was not a prohibited person.
I concluded interview by giving him my card and asked if he was interested in any particular firearms. He politely took my card and advised me that everything seems favorable. I should have confirmation in a couple of weeks.
Overall, not an intimidating experience whatsoever. Maybe I am weathered after having spent 4-5 hours with ATF and another 5-6 with Sergeant Edwards at MSP.
Definitely commend the Maryland State Police.
