    Greetings all, new to maryland from pa a few questions about the hql process. I started the application online today and paid for livescan fingerprinting which I will get done tomorrow. Where do I go from here. And how long does this whole process take? Any feedback would be much appreciated. Thanks.

    There are plenty of threads as well as on the MSP website (Maryland state police) outlining the process.
    You need to take a HQL class. Once you have taken the class and have your fingerprints done, you need to go online and submit an application on the Maryland state police website. $50 to apply.

    If you have obtained a handgun before Oct 2013 you can apply for a HQL exemption.

    I'm sure someone with more knowledge will chime in. I'm just going through the same process at the moment.

    I have owned a handgun prior to october 2013. Does it matter what state I was in. Also what documentation is needed for proof. Thanks.


    Look on MSP's website. If you owned a handgun already then you are exempt from the HQL class.

    always do the finger printing last. they go stale and you will need to do them again if necessary.
