Most folksÂ*Â* don't need help from lawyers and local " mounties" to get gunÂ*Â* permits. You might check for updates on that1963 law you cited. Maryland isn't a "loose" firearm state like Florida, ****-for-brains. Getting a carry permit here requires some "doing." Congratulations on your acomplishment. Was that one of the Â* hilights of your life? I looked up the Maryland requirements for a carry permit.Â* Very similar to those here in Massachusetts with a few minor differences. Apparently Maryland is technically a "shall" issue state (if applicants meet the basic requirements)Â* but the laws afford the issuing authority (State Police) wide latitude in the ultimate issuing of a permit, effectively making Maryland a "may" issue state like Massachusetts. Basic difference is that in Massachusetts, the initial application and final authorization is by the local police department in the town/city in which you reside.Â*Â* The Massachusetts State Police are also involved in the processing of the application and it must not be disapproved by them as after the background check. Both states have mandatory safety training requirements for first issuance of a permit. Other than those minor differences, the requirements are the same. Certainly not something that takes some "doing" or the assistance of a lawyer.Â* It's just a process. That's kinda funny, reminds me of Fretwell claiming he knows what is happening with legislation because he can track the progress using on-line sources. Yes, Maryland technically is a "shall issue" state, and that's pretty much as far as it goes, and having a lawyer who knows the game and who needs to sign off locally and at the issuing barracks is very helpful. It is very difficult to get approved for a concealed carry permit in Maryland. According to Maryland carry permit statistics 90 percent of applicants are approved. Now, *that* is funny. Even a cursory read of any serious gun discussion group will edu-ma-cate you as to the reality of the Maryland permit process for ordinary citizens. Fretwell might remember something about the chances for approval. When I got my permit, he wanted to know how I did it, since very few petitioners other than private guards, private police, et cetera, were approved. Greg hasn't lived in Maryland for many years as far as I know and the requirements to obtain a concealed carry gun permit throughout most states were relaxed many years ago due to court challenges on prohibitions. For example, for many years it was just about impossible in Massachusetts to get a long gun permit for anything other than hunting. With only a few exceptions the majority of cities and towns did not allow issuance of handgun concealed carry permits. That changed about 16-20 years ago following increasing court challenges. Now, unless you have a felony on your records or are a known drug or alcohol abuser or have other certain issues that disqualifies, an applicant typically will get a permit application approved. MA is still a "may issue" state however and in recent years some local police departments have started to put some restrictions on the carry permit, especially in the larger cities. The majority have none however. The permit I have (which I recently renewed) has no restrictions. I can carry any large capacity firearm that is legal to be sold in the state however even though the permit allows for "large capacity", magazines that hold more than 10 rounds are banned. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com |
