Answers:
You may be surprised to know that Maryland has a concealed carry law now, with about 11,366 active permits, but there is a problem with the current law. Permit holders have been so quiet and law abiding that you probably had no idea they were out there. That’s not the problem. The problem is there are not enough of them. The problem is that many of those who truly need permits cannot get them. The problem is discrimination.
The current CCW (Concealed Carry Weapons) law provides that if you can show documentation of several recent death threats then you might get a permit. However, if the threats are documented but older (say an ex- threatened to kill you when he gets out of jail and he’s been in for 5 years and is about to get out) you will not be issued a permit.
If you cannot document the death threats (they were made in person with no witnesses) you will not be able to get a permit.
You must not be a criminal... rumor has it they never apply for any license or permit!
