Can non-residents apply for a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit?

Yes, but with limited privileges
Yes, the same as residents
No, only residents can apply
Only if they work in Maryland

The correct answer is: Yes, the same as residents

The correct answer is that non-residents can apply for a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit under the same conditions as residents. Maryland law allows individuals, regardless of their residency status, to apply for this permit, provided they meet all the necessary requirements set forth in the law. These requirements typically include demonstrating a good and substantial reason for wanting to carry a handgun, completing the required firearms training, and passing background checks. Therefore, non-residents have the same access to the permitting process as residents do, making it possible for them to obtain the permit if they fulfill all legal obligations.
