What is the HQL (Handgun Qualification License) required for?

  1. Purchasing any firearm

  2. Purchasing a handgun

  3. Carrying a concealed weapon

  4. Purchasing a shotgun or rifle

The correct answer is: Purchasing a handgun

The HQL, or Handgun Qualification License, is a requirement for purchasing a handgun in the state of Maryland. It is not necessary for purchasing any firearm, as shotguns or rifles do not fall under the category of handguns. Additionally, the HQL does not permit individuals to carry a concealed weapon; a separate permit or license is required for that action. Therefore, the correct answer is B Purchasing a handgun.
