Question. Hoping to crowd source an answer with cites.
Does Maryland's Social Security Number Privacy Act or another law or COMAR prohibit the Maryland State Police from requiring your Social Security number on a Handgun Permit or Designated Collector Application?
If requiring or requesting is lawful, is the MSP required to include a disclaimer (i.e. that providing said information is optional, or how it will be used).
Finally, is the MSP required to store and or transmit that information with certain protections (i.e. faxing a 77R release to MD Dept. of Mental Health with an applicants SSN on it)?
