Understanding the Maryland Concealed Weapons Permit (Wear and Carry)
Maryland requires anyone who wants to carry a concealed handgun to obtain a Wear and Carry Permit from the Maryland State Police. While the state has specific eligibility requirements, recent updates to laws have made permits more accessible for law-abiding citizens who complete the necessary training.
Here’s what you need to qualify:
- Be at least 21 years of age (some exceptions apply for 18+ with military background)
- Have a clean criminal record
- Demonstrate a “good and substantial reason” (self-defense now widely accepted post-Bruen decision)
- Complete a certified 16-hour training course with a qualified instructor
- Pass a live-fire qualification test
Renewal applicants are required to complete an 8-hour refresher course every three years.
