Yes, send me $49 and I will send you the information to get your carry permit. It's as easy as 1-2-3.

Step 1-Pay me my money.
Step 2-Start a business where you carry and transfer $25,000 in cash every day.
Step 3-Apply for your Carry permit.

See, I told you it was as easy as 1-2-3.

I hate seeing this misinformation, even in threads like these.

As you surely know, this was nothing more than a joke.

Everyone know you can't get a permit just for just carrying money. :innocent0

Safety should never take time off. You practice like you play. As an instructor, I would insist on protection while on the range AT ALL TIMES. Shame on them for putting this out.

Not even sure they're on a range? I sometimes do a blue gun exercise, establishing a "firing line" in the classroom to work on grip, muzzle control, and range officer commands--how anybody can call a cease fire,etc. We do this the evening before, in the classroom. On Saturday we go over it all again, of course but I certainly don't insist on "eyes and ears" in the classroom.

Even easier, join the military and become a cop. Get your LEOSA card. Be a military cop for 10 years or more and keep that card for life, and its good everywhere! I love my card, thank you Uncle Sam. Maryland SUCKS!!!!!!!

I would offer them this.

I will take your class for free. WHEN I get my MD W&C permit, I will pay you double your advertised fee.

Any company that plays this game should not be getting our business. They are specifically exploiting our desire for freedom to make money. Screw these guys.

No its not.

Actually, its deceiving..and if you find it as such, you should report it. You can report it to the FTC and I'm sure Maryland has an office you can call/email to report it too...

For all we know, maybe they're willing to "officially" threaten your life 3 times.

Their web site has a lot of interesting reading:

http://www.practicaltrainingprofessionalsllc.com/

For example:

Our standards are high. So high in fact, we're in a league of our own, moving our entire industry forward. Practical Training Professionals has become synonymous with the highest quality craftsmanship.

No one ever complained about having their work executed perfectly.

Don't want to be around that cocksure swagger on a firing line. /\/\/\/\

The best trainers have some humility about themselves, their weapon status, and what they can offer.

Reminds me of the old Steve Martin bit... How to become a MILLIONAIRE and never pay taxes.... first, get a million dollars...

I actually commented on this very post on Facebook. I asked if anything was in writing and how is this possible, etc. The only response I got back was that Military with a high security clearance and victims of the OPM hack are being approved if they provide appropriate documentation and that a lack of documentation was the only reason for disapproval. They also said they are putting together a video of people recently approved based on these circumstances. I call BS. We shall see though.

I have considered putting in for Maryland W&C due to my new position on the prosecution team of the 9/11 conspirators, but since I work in Virginia I doubt it would be approved. Oh well. I will continue to not carry a firearm in Maryland and trust the MSP to make sure I don't get any holes in my body that I wasn't born with.

If the erroneous information, typos and math errors don't inspire confidence, surely this video pulled from their website will.

:rofl:

j_h_smith · Aug 23, 2016

After going to their web page, I thought I'd check out the training for an HQL. Not only is the price out of line ($120) there's something in their ad that makes no sense. See if you can find what I'm talking about.

Maryland Handgun Qualification License(HQL)

This course teaches you all of the basics of handguns including but not limited to basic safety rules, types of handguns, nomenclature, disassembly and maintenance, and the basic fundamentals of shooting. Students will fire in accordance to the MSP requirements during the live fire portion.
Students do not need to bring anything for this course but may bring their own firearm and ammunition for the live fire portion. Upon completion of this course, students will be able to properly apply for their Maryland HQL, a requirement to purchase a handgun in the People's Republic since October of 2013.

This certification comes free with the Maryland Wear and Carry certificate.

Did you find it? It says you can bring your own firearm and ammunition for the live fire portion. Well... if you already have a handgun, aren't you exempt from this training requirement? If you can bring your own firearm, then why are you taking this course?

Am I wrong?

Tomcat · Aug 23, 2016

I just found out one of the guys who works for me took their HQL class. It was not in a class room or Holiday Inn conference room like pictured in the video but inside a barn with a couple of fans blowing 100 degree air around. The fire 1 round was into a ditch on the same farm. Was told the price included everything but then got a phone call the day before to be sure and bring $65 cash for the fingerprinting. He was kind of pissed at that since his wife took the class also so an extra $130 for the class. Was told security clearance + OPM breech was good enough to get CCW. He's done some reading on here as a guest but I'll see if I can get him to sign up and make some more comments.
