    If you are an FFL, in Maryland, is that a factor in applying for Maryland CCW? It would seem that the transport and transfer of firearms would be sufficiently good and substantial reason. Curious to know if anyone has seen any action on that position?

    I would wager a Rodger that this business activity would allow your coveted G&S reason for your CCW, with restrictions of course.

    If you always carry a gun that's owned by the business (in your bound book, if they're still actually called that) your restriction could read that the permit is only valid when you're carrying a gun
    I am aware. Pretty ridiculous ain't it?

    I would be surprised.

    Things change with the administration at the Handgun Licensing Section, but, going in public with valuable items has not usually been considered a substantial reason. If so, you could claim that guarding the expensive jewelry your wife wears is justification for a CCW. If you are a street corner marijuana dealer, well, that could make it legal for you to pack heat.

    I believe that they are looking for proof that you carry cash, & they will want proof of large cash deposits in your bank. I don't ask dealers what percent of their payments are cash, & how much are check or charge. But, it's your $200, give it a try.

    Please, if you don't know of which you speak don't pass it off here as fact. People are coming to get informed opinions on the possibility of getting a permit and this perpetuation of urban myth does not help.

    You are completely wrong. There is no requirement for cash deposits at all. Only deposits. Cash is irrelevant to a Wear and Carry application. Only that you own a business and can show a history of deposits proving that you are a business owner.

    What Stoveman said. Literally every single piece of advice in that post is wrong.

    This is also incorrect. Banking is still in the MSP's SOP but is no longer a requirement although it may help but is no longer a requirement.

    I know of atleast one FFL holder that their restrictions were written in a way that as long as they had their shop keys they could carry... well they kept their keys on their person and a glock at all times.

    :thumbsup: Exactly Stoveman. The OP will likely get a permit issued and have a very good chance of having any MSP derived restrictions removed via an appeal to the Board.

    Then why did I and others I've spoken with get grilled on the interview about CASH deposits or handling of cash. The inference wasn't subtle that cash is an element.

    Yep, I know an FFL who actually has that on his restrictions.

    I think I'd actually be ok with a permit that said that my permit to carry a gun is only valid when I am carrying a gun.

    :P

    My business partner, who is not covered by LEOSA as I am had to get a MD permit. It was granted without any problem, but it is restricted to "To and from work and while doing business for the company," (or wording substantially like that.)

    He would easily be able to get it modified now. Modifications request cost $10.
