Session ends 4/08- it's over April 9- 0001 AM.
It's MSP "policy,' not found in any statute.Re-read 5-306(9) and let me know if you see the "2 years" anymore? I think it got removed under HB824.
Correct.they would need the training under the new training curriculum.
Page 12 and 13 (below)It would appear that by leaving the training period out, under HB824 (2023 session), there is no training period requirement for the wear and carry permit any longer.
Welcome pistolsnipe.Thanks for doing the research legwork BurkeM, much appreciated
Where I took the initial training the renewal training is indeed half price.
I will schedule a class after April 8 to ensure any possible shenanigans are foreclosed for this cycle.
Can anybody link me to the Maryland definition of Qualified Handgun Instructor? Does MD presently recognise NRA instructors as qualified?
Got it. Thanks. And the instructor that did my initial training is still listed on their handy link.
Same requirements, half the time.Is it a different requirement than the original wear and carry class besides the class room hour ( content wise)?
If not, these class instructors should offer renewal classes @1/2 the price and allow the students to sit through the 2nd half of their 16 hr wear and carry classes.
There is no "penalty" for renewing early, you new permit will expire on your birthday, three years after your current one expires.Got it. Thanks. And the instructor that did my initial training is still listed on their handy link.
Am I correct in assuming that If i submit my renewal early, the first renewed permit will still expire 3 years from the last day of my birth month? IE there is no "punishment" for renewing early?
No. Same material must be covered in 1/2 the time.Is it a different requirement than the original wear and carry class besides the class room hour ( content wise)?
We shall see, I am doing my first renewal class tomorrow.No. Same material must be covered in 1/2 the time.
In theory, instructors don't have to spend hours explaining the function of a revolver or the construction of a Pew.
I agree, that's why the one I am doing is different than a normal class. I have done a mock class with a friend under the plan of being a renewal type class.I try to make my renewal course as “different” as I can from the initial. And yes it’s about 1/2 the price of the initial course.
With the new requirements I think it will be tough to have students attend just one of the days of the initial course. Instead it should prob be done as it’s own course, well to be done right.

I have worked on this as well. I have decided to continue to do renewals concurrently with initial, but I agree, it is nearly impossible to do in an 8 hour setting and remain within the law regarding the new curriculum. My new plan is to offer renewal students the option to take the entire 16 hour class with initial students (and get in more range time basically for free) or to stay after the classroom day and shoot the qualification. Basically a choice between a 9 hour 25 shot class or 16 hour class 125 shot class for renewal.I try to make my renewal course as “different” as I can from the initial. And yes it’s about 1/2 the price of the initial course.
