Who is required to complete a Firearms Safety Training Course in Maryland?

All gun owners
First-time handgun purchasers
Law enforcement personnel
Minors under 18

The correct answer is: First-time handgun purchasers

First-time handgun purchasers are required to complete a Firearms Safety Training Course in Maryland. This is because Maryland has a Handgun Qualification License (HQL) requirement for purchasing a handgun. This applies to all individuals, not just gun owners. Law enforcement personnel may already have completed similar training and do not need to complete the HQL course. Minors under 18 are not legally allowed to purchase a handgun, so they would not be required to complete the course. All gun owners in Maryland are also not required to complete the Firearms Safety Training Course, only first-time handgun purchasers are required to do so.
