For how long is a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit valid before it needs renewal?

  1. 2 years

  2. 3 years

  3. 5 years

  4. 10 years

The correct answer is: 3 years

A Maryland Wear and Carry Permit is valid for a period of 3 years before it requires renewal. This regulation is in place to ensure that permit holders remain informed about the laws and practices surrounding firearms and are able to demonstrate ongoing responsibility in carrying a concealed weapon. The established period allows time for the necessary training, background checks, and any updates in law that may occur during that time frame. After 3 years, the holder must renew their permit, which often involves submitting additional documentation and possibly undergoing further training or evaluation. This helps maintain safety and compliance within the state's firearms regulations.
