The report mentions Maryland requiring the names of three references. Pre-Bruen, a State Troops would call each reference with a list of about ten questions. Post Bruen, they don’t have time and have said that they aren’t really calling references. As it should be.
Maryland also requires a whopping 16 hour training course with an eight hour renewal course. This includes a live fire exercise. While I disagree with the entire thing, I think the live fire exercise was surprisingly well executed.
It’s a few rounds scored at 5, 10, 15 and 15 feet. (I scored 100.
Initial renewal is at two years, a ridiculously short time with subsequent renewals at three years. (Renewals should be never)
They do everything they can to infringe on rights. They tried to make the entire state a sensitive area and off limits to CCW. It was so egregious that an Obama appointed judge shot it down.
The legislative asylum meets 90 days a year, beginning in January. It’s almost time for stupid games to begin again.
One nice thing about having an economic illiterate for Governor is that he’s screwed the state budget up so badly the Asylum doesn’t have time to play around with gun bills. They’re too busy trying to figure out how to tax us more.
“It’s a few rounds scored at 5, 10, 15 and 15 feet.”
Those distances are ridiculously short. The ND Class 1 is 24 shots at an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper with a pistol. There are two distances, one is 45 feet and the other about half. Different shooting positions are used, one of them single handed with your left hand (if your are right handed).
I routinely practice right or left handed. Arthritis is so bad in my right hand I can only shoot the 10 mm left handed.
I see the reasoning behind it. One must be totally familiar with handling a weapon as well as hitting the target.

Colorado passed something like that. They just pass whatever Mike Bloomberg sends them.
