Got my MD handgun permit today

[balext]

It has taken a year of standard MD BS and jumping threw hoops but it finally came today. It has restrictions, but that was always expected. I plan to make use of this every chance I get.

Congrats, now you need to update your signature.

Done.

Done.

Now if the rest of us could make some headway.

What did it take? Did you make any special effort or have any specific qualification that helped you with the state?

Good for you. That's what I like to see.

Give them as much supporting info as possible. Don't think anything is obvious.
Use as many things you do or have training in support of your request. They are big on bank statements for business requests, but it does not have to be large deposits. If you are first denied like I was, get the informal hearing. They seem to use a bit more common sense at that point. Good luck.

It took a lot of back and forth. They don't pay a lot of attention it seems at times because at one point they asked me for proof of threats when I applied because of being an instructor.

After being denied, I had an informal hearing and all they wanted was a letter from my club that verified I was an instructor there, and I the got it 5 days later.

Now that you have your Maryland permit, you might consider getting a Pennsylvania LTCF.

I'm making ready to get Utah in the works. Then I'll start on VA.

Done.

So how many states can you carry in now with your 7 permits?

Looks like if you start with the UT permit you get 32 states, since CO, MI, and FL won't honor the UT non-resident permit. A FL permit then gives you FL, KS, and NM.

But here's the insult. For all that it takes to get a MD permit, if you already have UT and FL, you would only gain MI. A PA permit would do that.

I can carry in 39 states so far. I am also going to get NV since Az no longer covers me there. I will also apply for a Pa since they seem to be dropping states they take these days.

Get PA. I did and it only took 8 days
