No, I paid attention and am well aware of the process, but when one has the option to simply go to MPTC in Sykesville, shoot a 50 round course and get nationwide carry, the time and expense of fighting with MSP becomes a non starter.

The only reason I applied to MSP was that it was free for retired LE and was a "gimme" in the past.

Sorry, maybe I didn't word that in the best form. What I meant was your assessment that you likely would not be issued a permit runs counter to all of the reports on this forum. Every person who applied for business reason (myself included) have been issued a permit. I can't find a single reference to anyone running a legitimate business being denied.

Just had my phone interview today. They also called all of my references and did the background check. She stated that it will probably be issued (business owner) and she would get everything up to the powers that be. It could take up to 60-90 days to hear/receive anything. I guess now the real waiting begins. Why can't the just send me the permit for Christmas! I would gladly return everything else or donate to everything to Charity. HaHa

In my opinion, Maryland State only providing selected people/groups with permits helps them to say that they actually do issue X number of permits. This defeats the entire cause of Maryland Shall Issue (MSI) as far as I am concerned. It ought to be that if everybody cannot participate, then none will. That's standing together! Most people work for an employer and are therefore automatically disqualified from CCW. Ludicrous, indeed!

I went through the process and requested the review board months ago and have heard nothing. Are they that backed up or did they simply ignore my request? Does anyone know how I can check the status of my request?

Once your "approved training" is complete, is there a certain amount of time in which you must submit your application?

I also appealed to the HPRB back in July and haven't heard or received anything from them. I just sent another certified letter with signature of receipt requesting what actions have ot have not been taken on my appeal. It was delivered and signed for on Jan 2, 2013. We'll see if anything happens.....

Physician CCW denied

Just finished my informal appeal after getting "disapproved."

1) Physician alone not good enough
2) Carrying narcotics not G&S unless self employed and they need proof that as part of the practice the doc routinely dispenses the narcotics and/or need employer to write a letter stating it is part of the job
3) Script pad...not enough
4) The fact that I am on TV and in the newspapers not enough

Will appeal to the board and see what happens. The corporal stated that even if I get approved it will be so restricted it would not do any good.

The corporal I did my informal appeal with said that they review board is so far behind that it might take months to get my turn.

Gotta love the HPRB following the law:

What a crock of sh*t! Restricted to when you are carrying narcotics most likely. Is the Corporal going to dictate when you can or need to do that? Time to open a private practice perhaps or get the letter from your employer if possible.

So...my 25 y/o daughter...all of 4 ft. 11" 106 lbs. had her I-phone stolen out of her hand in downtown Baltimore while trying to enter a downtown Metro subway station.

Is this a slam dunk? Is this a good enough reason for her to be granted a carry permit?

It is very sad when MSP only care about certain job classes when it comes to a concealed carry handgun permit. Now I understand why a few law abiding citizens are leaving this crazy state. It's even more horrible when you have to go out of state to get a non resident handgun permit and you can't count on the state of maryland to do right by law abiding citizens. All i can say is the criminals have won, thanks to some elected officals, stupid gun laws, and some law enforcement agencies.

Use of deadly force to protect property will land you in jail.

I think its a laugh that when I applied and got my MD permit albeit with restrictions for work only that it seemed the MSP only cared about how much money you carry. I think I know why...*cue sarcasm* if you were robbed of the large amounts of money that you carry, it would cheat the state of MD out of their money they could have taxed you because the money never made it to the bank.
