I finally have time to expand on my post above. According to my copies of MSP SOP's;

"An applicant whose handgun permit has been expired for 90 days or less is considered a renewal."

This is incorrect. As long as your
application is submitted prior to expiration you are good to go. As a matter of fact if you wait until the last minute you can keep carrying on your old permit until the new one arrives.

Be careful I am almost certain the applicable State Government Article says if the permit renewal is submitted more than 14 days prior to expiration the permit remains valid (even during the pendency of the permit renewal, appeal, circuit court petition, etc.) So inside of 14 days likely won't hold up.

Edit: just checked and it's not 14 days but rather "two calendar weeks before a license expires." See SG 2-226

Business weeks or calendar weeks?

Have any physicians been able to obtain CCWs? I'm interested to hear how tough the restrictions are.

It's actually very likely for Doctors and Pharmacists to be able to obtain a MD Wear and Carry permit. There are several Ranges in Maryland that offer the full package including fingerprinting where you can take everything and even receive application help! Just remember your prints are only good for 72 Hours once you get them taken, had to figure that out the hard way for myself.

I'm not sure how this actually works? I submitted my app (with print #) based on the wrong link on page 1 of this thread (not sure if it has been changed to the correct link yet) January 2 2017. The app was an out dated form and the entire app was returned to me. I then sent out the currect app but forgot to include my training cert :sad20:

which resulted in it being returned a second time. When I finally got my chit together and was able to send my correct app with all my papers, my prints where still valid on 2/06. Before sending my app the last time I called to make sure that my prints would still be good. I was told that they did not expire after 72 hours.

Just checked the link and it is still to an out dated form. I really wish someone would update the link as I know of others who have followed that link and have been delayed and as a resource page we should strive to have accurate information for those that come here.

Me neither. I think it has to do with how long MSP wants to retain the notification from MD CJIS that yoo're not prohibited. I think it's a general rule of thumb but they can retain them longer than 72 hours if they choose to.

I try to comply with instructions on applications rather than poking the bear with a stick.

I agree with this I have heard of similar cases where MDSP allowed original prints to be used even if an applicant had to resubmit. It depends on the case it seems. Always better to be safe than sorry!

I do hope this mess get overturned because it is unfortunate that we cannot conceal carry. UGH. I would not want to waste my time applying if I already know that I will be denied due to the criteria.

In that case, they won.

Does anyone know the actual timeframe from submission of application to approval for wear and carry? I mailed my application and credentials this morning. Anyone already gone through it? Thanks

Received my approval at MSP interview on 5/12/17. Waiting for it in the mail. :party29:

60 days from application to approval.

If this is true hopefully it is a sign of things to come. The person conducting the interview seldom has the authority to issue, grant, or approve the permit. If this has been changed to allow for that it would be a great thing.

This doesn't follow their SOP.

swinokur · May 17, 2017

i think there is a misunderstanging. interviewers don't grant permits

Shazam · May 17, 2017

My interviewer said that based on the interview I should have no problem getting a permit. But he also made it clear that he didn't make the final decision.

swinokur · May 17, 2017

yes. interviewing troopers don't make the decision

My interview was at the Rockville Barracks. Heck, I don't even know if the trooper was assigned to the LD..
