And in those rare cases, MDSPLD would be f'd by their own words

That's their problem.

Update — 06/06: Physical card received in the mail.

Going to the process now so I thought I would share where I’m at so far hopefully I hear something soon.

4/19 applied
4/21 accepted
5/17 call references
5/18 called me for investigation and asking for more bank statements
5/19 called domestic reference and emailed 3 months of bank info
I was told everything looked good.

Hopefully it doesn’t take 90 days. I feel like it’s moving quickly.

Update- after being asked for more banking info and proving it on 6/8 I received today in a email 6/14 - APPLICATION HAS BEEN APPROVED.
Permit Restrictions
NONE

I found the best way for MD residents to get a permit.

Step 1. Move to a free state.
Step 2. Get a permit
Step 3. Profit

With the decision that just came down, it will be very interesting to see how my application is handled.

I applied about 30 days ago. I was assigned an investigator about 15 days ago, but I have not heard from them nor have my references.

I wonder what approach they will take with my application.

I applied on 6/19/2022 still waiting for my application to be "accepted". With the ruling that just came down like you said we shall see.

MD was specifically mentioned with 6 other states where their CCW permit requirements were struck down. Just like DC they will be a shall issues state. The bone heads in charge will be skurring like rats on a sinking ship and will more than likely to try to find a work around.

Maryland makes no distinction between residents and non-residents. So if you don't live here but want one, you'll still have to do the 16 hours, get the prints, pay and apply, and then wait out the background check just like residents. For now, anyway.

But now, unlike previously, it is at least worth doing, or it can be.

So this means no more permit review board? I gather that was the perpetual rubber stamp "No" that was the problem.

HPRB has been disbanded for a while now, but the Admin. Law judge review should be slowing to crawl.

 

[Mark75H]

The review board is long ago history. You could take an appeal to a magistrate for recent appeals.

A magistrate may be good. “Hey, your magistrateness, did you read this short story by Clarence Thomas?” A couple of those and MSP will get the picture. No judge can misinterpret what is written there.

The exact reason I took the class two weeks ago

I submitted my renewal under the Federal employee category on June 20th, haven't received the application accepted status yet. I suspect the MSP LD has a huge backlog of new applications or holding up for changes to or removal of the Permit category part of the application. No complaints from me as long as it removes the "Valid while employed by" restriction.
