PUBLIC SAFETY §5-117.1(c) states that “A person may purchase, rent, or
receive a handgun only if the person:
(1) (i) possesses a valid handgun qualification license issued to the
person by the Secretary in accordance with this section;...”
The Maryland State Police (MSP) has applied the ruling in Chow v. State, 393
Md. 431 (2006) to interpret the definition of “receive” as it pertains to PS §5-
117.1(c). Chow held “the temporary gratuitous exchange or loan of a regulated
handgun between two adult individuals, who are otherwise permitted to own and
obtain a regulated handgun, does not constitute an illegal “transfer” of a
firearm....” The MSP views “transfer” and “receive” as equivalent for purposes
of Maryland’s firearms laws and interprets “receive” as including the gratuitous
permanent exchange of title or possession, but excluding temporary gratuitous
exchanges or loans of handguns.
Therefore, an individual, not otherwise prohibited from owning or possessing
regulated firearms, is not required to possess an active HQL in order to borrow a
regulated firearm from another individual on a temporary basis.

PUBLIC SAFETY §5-117.1(c)(3)(iii) requires a firearms orientation component that demonstrates the person’s safe operation and handling of a firearm, which includes, as required by COMAR 29.03.01.29.C(4), a practice component in which the applicant safely fires at least one round of live ammunition.
1) 2)
The Maryland State Police (MSP) has received several requests to review
alternative non-lethal, marking projectiles to satisfy the “live fire” component of
the HQL training requirement. The MSP has determined that the use of non-lethal
marking projectiles would meet the HQL “live fire” training requirement
provided that the non-lethal marking projectile meets the following requirements:
meets the definition of “ammunition” as defined in Public Safety §5-133.1(a):
“a cartridge, shell, or any other device containing explosive or incendiary
material designed and intended for use in a firearm;” and
can be fired from a firearm as defined in Public Safety §5-101(h)(1)(i): “a
weapon that expels, is designed to expel, or may readily be converted to expel
a projectile by the action of an explosive.”
So assuming sims guns are ok now for the live fire .
