Which of the following is NOT a requirement to obtain a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit?

  1. A good and substantial reason

  2. Completion of a firearms safety training course

  3. Being a resident of Maryland

  4. Passing a physical fitness test

The correct answer is: Passing a physical fitness test

Obtaining a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit allows an individual to legally carry a handgun in the state of Maryland. While completing a firearms safety training course, providing a good and substantial reason, and being a resident of Maryland are all requirements for obtaining this permit, passing a physical fitness test is not. This is because one's physical abilities are not considered to be a determining factor in their ability to responsibly carry a firearm. Instead, the focus is on the individual's training and qualifications in handling and using a firearm. Therefore, D is the correct answer as it is the only option that is not a requirement for obtaining a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit.
