MD CCW and gun shop employee

Xshot said:

I know business owners can get their CCW, and it sounds like most are without restrictions these days.

Can a gun shop employee, NOT an owner, get a restricted or unrestricted CCW permit?

If so, what about a gun shop employee that's 'on-call' 24/7? Meaning, this shop take appointments and meets up to do sales/trades/business transactions/bank deposits at any given time or day.

Yes, the employees can get a permit if the shop wants the employee to carry. It will be restricted based on the the endorsement letter from the employer and the restrictions the MSP applies. It won't be unrestricted.



Some of these things might apply:

Firearm Testing at Range

Opening/Closing/Alarm Responses

Trade/Gun Shows

Sales Demo

Appraisals

Off-Site Purchases/Auctions

Off-Site Gunsmith Pick-Up/Drop-Off

Bank Deposits/Withdrawals

Training Event

I assume the employee would have to be on file with the shop? As in a 1099 or whatever an employer uses for tax purposes.

It will likely get a little deeper than that.



From my experience (not in a LGS), they want a letter specifically stating that the owner of the business would like you to be armed while conducting business with/for them.



Like,... a note from your parents when you were in school kinda thing.

That's the easy part for me. It's the official paper trail that i wasn't sure was needed or not.

Glad to hear. I'd say anything (pay-stub, 1099, W2, contractual agreement, etc) should suffice.



For a small shop/cool owner it's easy. For the guy who works in another line of business and may have anti-2A people up the food chain it can be a stumbling block or wall.

Getting the owners permission and a written contract of such is a no brainer.
