How often does a Wear and Carry Permit need to be renewed in Maryland?

  1. Every 2 years

  2. Every 3 years

  3. Every 5 years

  4. Every year

The correct answer is: Every 3 years

In Maryland, the Wear and Carry Permit needs to be renewed every 3 years. This renewal period is designed to ensure that permit holders remain informed about current laws, regulations, and responsibilities related to carrying a firearm. It also allows for a review of the permit-holder’s background to maintain public safety. The other options suggest more frequent renewals, which is unnecessary under current laws, or much longer periods which could overlook the importance of ongoing education and responsibility in firearm carrying. The 3-year requirement strikes a balance between allowing responsible individuals to carry while regularly refreshing their understanding of the laws and safety practices.
