What does the Maryland Wear and Carry Permit allow an individual to do?

  1. Carry a concealed firearm in public

  2. Purchase any firearm without a background check

  3. Automatically carry a firearm in other states

  4. Carry a firearm openly in public spaces

The correct answer is: Carry a concealed firearm in public

The Maryland Wear and Carry Permit allows an individual to legally carry a concealed firearm in public within the state of Maryland. Option B is incorrect because background checks are still required for firearm purchases regardless of possessing a carry permit. Option C is incorrect because each state has its own laws regarding the carry of firearms, and a Maryland permit does not automatically permit carrying in other states. Option D is incorrect because Maryland is not an open carry state, so the permit does not allow for open carry in public spaces.
