“As a resident of Maryland, ...”
I used to live in the Freak State. I was at the Myrtle Grove range and talked to a cop there about getting a CCW permit. This is what he said:
1. You have to have already been shot (to show need).
2. You have to know who shot you (not a victim of “random” crime).
3. You have to know “someone” (as MD is a corrupt Dim stronghold, you have to have connections).
We moved to VA, and shortly after, I got my CHP. Easy Peasy
I got a similar response. I actually “know someone”, and I was told that is nowhere near enough. It’s unconstitutional, but I have other reasons for staying here for now.
