QHIL Approval Letter & Certificate

[TTMD]

Although having received my MSP-QHIL number some time ago, I received my official approval letter and certificate emails only yesterday. Are these just starting to roll out, or have others been receiving them already?

Yeah, I got mine yesterday also. They said I am allowed to:

- Instruct Handgun Qualification License applicants.
- Handgun Wear and Carry Permit Applicants.

Which is confusing because I received the certificate (QHIC), not the license (QHIL). From my understanding you need to be licensed to provide training for Handgun Wear and Carry Permit applicants. But, the letter I received states otherwise.

Great! Now you should "instruct" as many people as you possibly can who want to get their HQL and/or carry permit

That's my understanding as well, but I believe the state law currently allows for this. I've also heard that this is expected to be clarified in law at some point. Who knows when that "point" might be though.

I have heard from some who have already received their certificate via email.

I have not received mine, however I already know my QHIL# from when they were posted by MSP online. The QHIL #'s have since been removed.

Also, MSP now appears to assert the opinion that position shooting, dry firing and the completion of an MSP approved PPC course are now a requirement of the new law.

I also received mine yesterday.

I noticed the addition of the position shooting and dry firing to the growing list of requirements.

Also mine lacked the 'attachments' mentioned in the original attached letter. MSP soon sent out a revised notice with a merged document.

Got mine at 9 am this morning. Took them long enough. I was starting to think it was going to be as long as it takes to be "Not Disapproved" to buy a handgun.

Got mine yesterday, but it expires 1-30-2014 so I asked for clarification

Got mine yesterday, but it expires 1-30-2014 so I asked for clarification

Mine expires in May, 2014, which is the same date my NRA Instructor credentials expire, so even though I have the QHIL, which isn't supposed to be tied to the NRA creeds, and is supposed to be good for 3 (4?) years, they tied mine to my instructor creds. Since the QHIC is tied to the NRA creds (but doesn't require to PPC, etc.), it is necessarily set to expire at the same time as the NRA ratings.

If yours is a QHIL, please post back if the get back with you and extend your expiration date, if you don't mind.

 

[drking2]

I will, but my NRA instructor expires 11/30/14.

The last time I spoke with MSP about this they stated that it simply denotes HOW one is qualified.

"C" = Certificate: From an outside organization (ie NRA)
"L" = Licensed: MSP granted the qualification

Both C and L can teach/instruct the HQL and W&C classes equally.

QHIC expiration dates are tied to the date on the supporting certificate.
QHIL expiration dates are four years from the MSP approval date.

Strange...

A Maryland QHI should be fully aware if what they are credentialed to lawfully instruct-it is clearly defined in 281.

If you are surprised or unclear, this forum should be the second or third resource to use for research; 281 & COMAR would be number 1, and MSP number 2...

Just saying
