Maryland Drops Good and Substantial Reason

(1/6) > >>

Clarence:
Governor Hogan today ordered the State Police to observe the US. Constitution and drop the “ good and substantial reason” for a “Wear and Carry” license. This has been THE stumbling block in the past

As soon as I have some funds I am going to start looking to take the class and get this process going. Really looking forward to not having to worry about accidentally going into MD.

Right you are Seth.  The Maryland classes are expensive.   $350 in Salisbury and $175 more if they set up your prints, pictures and paperwork.   I wonder if that is because the documentation for the “good and substantial” was so tricky?

SturmRugerSR9:
I still haven't seen anything indicating the will issue non-resident permits in Maryland, or accept out of state permits. If so, I'd like to see some documentation on that.

Did find this:
Gov. Larry Hogan has directed the Maryland State Police to suspend the state’s “good and substantial reason” standard for obtaining a permit to carry a concealed handgun in light of last month’s Supreme Court decision.

“It would be unconstitutional to continue enforcing this provision of state law,” Hogan said Tuesday in a statement. “There is no impact on other permitting requirements and protocols.”

Clarence:
Strum: Again, although Maryland does not recognize any other state permits, there is nothing in Maryland law that says a non resident cannot be issued a permit.  Actually non residents have been issued permits in the past for people who were able to articulate “a good and substantial reason”.
