As I previously stated, if it was about training, no one would be exempt

Exactly. The DD-214 exemption just shows they aren’t serious about training as a safety measure.
IMHO being on one side of the argument, I am not bitter about it.Having followed this thread since the beginning, it has left me totally bewildered. 1) Do not believe that mandatory training should be required to exercise a constitutional right. This decision should be left up to the individual. This system has worked well in the Constitutional Carry States. 2) It is easy to see why the Libtards of this state have been able to deny us our rights for so long. We bicker among ourselves because some individuals have an easier path to securing a W&C permit. We should be happy for their luck. But no, we complain that someone got something that we didn't. It's unfair. Get over it, life is unfair. As the right to carry was settled by SCOTUS, one day this issue will be corrected. Our strength is the 2A community standing together.
I was holding my pinky finger up when tossing it.
I did a sachet and quipped "Hup! Hup!" as it rolled into the pit.Should've told them it was the British tea method
I was not a tanker, but I was in a tank company. They were issued 1 Grease gun per tank, and the crew each had a 1911.No. Tankers were issued the M-3 Grease gun, Thompsons, and M-1 carbines for the longest time.
From 1917-the 1980's, only officers and NCO's (tank commanders- TC) in the armored units were issued the 1911.
After the M-9 Beretta was introduced, the majority of Armored Crewmen (Tankers) still carried the M-4 carbine or the M-3 Greasegun for a long time, while only TC's received a handgun-and many armor units never received enough M-9's to issue to every TC.
The Armor School doesn't teach tankers anything about handguns. Basic and Armor School are combined and require 15 weeks of your time- they teach the rifle (M-16 / M-4), the main gun (120MM), the .50 Cal (M2), the medium machine gun (M240) coaxial and pintle mounted, but not the handgun. They teach vehicle maintenance for the Abrams engine, track repair, and other essential tasks for operating the Tank. Driving skills, basic tank gunnery, radio operating techniques, and - naturally, drill and ceremony.
There's no time in 15 weeks to teach handgun skills.
No one is complaining about it. It's just when one guy chimed in saying that all military members and Vets are HIGHLY qualified and should be exempt. LOL We thought that was cute.Were there a lot of complaints concerning DD214 exemptions prior to July 2022?
I Absolutely understand. I wasn't trained on a hand gun in the military, In my opinion, we were generally trained on weapon safety pretty well. There are some generalizations back and forth here that I think aren't totally correct. I did qualify each year with an M16, and I am assuming that the personnel in my unit that were issued 1911 did also. It is a political thing, for sure. I feel as though as was stated here somewhere that MSP should give us all the basic information that would be in these classes and urge us to read and learn using information supplied by them as to what is important. From what I have read on this Forum, some instructors are giving erroneous information to people that accept them as experts. I am glad that I got this benefit from being in the military, but I don't think any of us should be required to have this training.No one is complaining about it.

Clearly the TO&E was inconsistent across all armored units. Not surprising.I was not a tanker, but I was in a tank company. They were issued 1 Grease gun per tank, and the crew each had a 1911.
Never heard one.Were there a lot of complaints concerning DD214 exemptions prior to July 2022?
BINGO!but I don't think any of us should be required to have this training.
Excellent! Sign up in advance or at the door?Blue Griffin is doing a low-cost class specifically for training exempt W&C holders to learn more about MD law. Details attached.

100% agreement.This is really about how the MD General Assembly knows nothing about anything on any subject.
From the opening day to sine die, their only goal is getting re-elected.
