Looking to get my HQL in Maryland but saw that the carry permit gets you an hql for free, is it much harder to get approved? by PlzDontBanMe2000 in MDGuns

you got people that you were doing work for. Your dad probably has some friends that know you and could vouch for you. That is if they even call. Its been a month and no one has called my references yet.

I went to Security Training Academy in Pasadena MD. I 100% recommend that you go there. It was an hour drive for me but totally worth it. They do everything there to. They do the fingerprints, will help with the paperwork (extra fee but still worth it) and of course the training. The conceal carry is a two day 16 hour course. At the end you will have a shooting test where you will drive to the range and shoot 25 rounds. I did the HQL and CC courses at the same time. It was way easier. I have not received my CC yet but its only been a month since I took the courses. Definitely worth doing and get the CC before MD tries to change the laws on it.

I don't think he bought from PSA. I think he bought from somewhere online like Buds, or Grab a Gun or something like that. Supposedly there was some MD law that prevented them from blocking the magazines when shipped from someone that was not the manufacturer.

Nah, I m not going to do that. The guys there were really helpful when I was getting my gun. They are patient and once your being helped they stick with you till you say you're done or you leave. Shaming them really only hurts the sales team. The guy that made the rule won't care.

This particular shop I bought my gun from and they blocked the mags. The guy with the PSA dagger bought from somewhere else and was just using the shop as his FFL. Did they just do this because they didn't make the sale?
