CCW?

[Shemp]

I got a call from MSP concerning my CCW. She said I should take a proficiency test with the gun I'm going to carry. She said every little bit helps. A co in millersville offers them for $125 it takes about a half hour at On Target and you get a score on your performance at different distances. The price seems ridiculous to me. Has anyone else done this? Or should I just take my chances and proceed without it? Thanks. Shemp

Huh? First I've heard of that. Are you sure she was calling from the MSP?

That's probably the easy part. What's your "good and substantial reason" for wanting to endanger the lives of the people of the state of MD by exercising your Constitutional right to bear arms?

 

[Shemp]

Absolutely she called all my references also

She said I "should" take a proficiency test with the gun I'm going to carry. She said every little bit helps.

There you go, should, not must.

Really? The lady suggests that you go take a 125 course on top of what you have all ready paid to apply for your CCW. Sorry no thanks I wouldn't do it.

 

[Shemp]

The only place I could find that offered it was Worth-A-Shot in Millersville. It is not offered at On Target but they use that facility. It is not a state program, just a suggestion from her because she knows how hard I'd is to get approved. She was very nice throughout the interview. I am not going to do it though.

I'm asking where the money is going to MD as you say in your first post ???

As of this point in time there is no requirement for a civilian CCW holder to take a proficiency test to get your permit. That will change in October once MOM signs the crap passed this last session. Then new permits will require an sixteen hours course with a proficiency test and renewals will be 8 hour class with proficiency test. It's still open ended as how this is going to happen? Chris

Well I'm sure that training place/gun shop pays taxes right? So atleast some of the cash goes to the state.

As I understand it, that only applies if you have never purchased a regulated firearm prior to Oct1.

Sounds like a reason to purchase now by itself.

Renewal? Renewal of what?

 

[Straightshooter]

That exemption only applies to the Firearms Qualification License, not CCW.

Never heard of that before...

 

[Shemp]

It is not required just a suggestion to better your chances according to the woman I spoke to

I don't think that's the case. You either have G&S or you don't. I have never heard of training bettering your chances.

 

[Mooseman]

That is a new one for me. I have never heard of this.

 

[Shemp]

Spoke with her again today. All my contacts have benn called including my wife. I told her I could not take the course I mentioned and she said that was fine. So the ball is rolling we will see what happens.

This is the first I've heard of anyone having direct (back and forth) contact with any one person at the MSP.

When did you apply and what is your G&S?
