Minimum Caliber for Concealed Carry in MD

[CanDoEZ]

I think I would have shown up for that class with my grandfathers H&R in .32 S&W. It was his "pocket gun" for years

 

[blipper]

40 is still gey.
No min on carry. Freestate would not let you qualify with a 22 as part of policy. I questioned them on it since I was planning on using one due to an injury. They said no.
But that was early on when they limited the classes to less than 1k people

They were still saying that the weekend before last.

If you did, you would also have to have a razor in your shoe. It's required.

That's bad, bad.

Is it too late to tell the OP that he must carry at least a 50mm with bawl ammo in 10 round revolver magazines? And the lead must be 3% anti money. Or it’ll be too hard to carry

Just checking.

Badder than old King Kong.

Nope. Not too late. Let him know. Don’t forget about the AS7.

Don’t they come with 11 round magazines and shoot full semi automatic?
I hear they go wep wep wep.

He drove a custom Continental Buick LeSabre.... Grandpa was the baddest insurance agent in NJ thats for sure

Carried that .32 everyday through WW2 and after until right before he passed in 1985. With a valid carry permit issued by the Jamesburg, NJ Chief of Police

 

[Blaster229]

Can we name the "instructor" yet or what?

 

[Biggfoot44]

And meaner than a junkyard . But .32S&W isn't best choice if you need to shoot a junkyard dog .

 

[eruby]

Doris (sitting at the edge of the bar) agrees with Blaster.

Name the instructor.

 

[ICW2019]

Please someone start a thread for name and shaming. I just don't want to be the firestarter lmao.

I'm going with the kolibri for carry is 2mm small enough? View attachment 376542

At $50 to $60 per round (assuming you can find them), I would avoid the mag dump.

I've had one of these on my wish list for a while, but seems like I could do something better with 6 grand. Still, kind of a cool piece.

Empty the cylinder into him and then start clubbing him in the head with the butt end... maybe he'll get the message.

Another reason to upgrade to a Velo Dog ! The original 5.75 was made until recently by Fiochi, and relatively plentiful . Just looked up some for sale for $61 per 50rds .

Even better , later post 1900 'Dogs were also chambered in .22lr and .25acp .

 

[Doctor_M]

True... I have a Belgian one chambered in .25 acp... just because

We've established that there's NO caliber requirement for a carry gun. Also established that you need to be able to hit your target with whatever you choose, and you get to choose which combination of gun and caliber makes you feel safest. And that the folks who teach the CCW course can set any requirements they want, and say whatever they want in their classes no matter how wrong or stupid it is and they are. And unless students are willing to publicly out them for their misinformation, they'll keep getting away with it.

As an expert here says, 'You do you." Do your research and do what you feel comfortable with, 'Cause you don't want to end up looking like a jigsaw puzzle with a couple of pieces gone on the bar room floor.

Sir, you bring accuracy, logic, and relevant information. Maybe MDShooters isn't for you.

Maybe the "instructor" was confusing minimum hunting calibers with personal carry.
