To purchase a handgun in Maryland you will need to get an "HQL" (Handgun Qualification License). FreeState Gun Range AND OTHER PLACES, offer the short 4 hour classroom course so that you can get your HQL. The course will also include, as I understand it, a short amount of time FIRING a handgun. Once you have your HQL (like a license for a car except for a gun) you can purchase a handgun. But, just like ANYWHERE ELSE (Some gun store, gun show, or FreeState Gun Range) YOU WILL NEED TO GET A QUICK BACKGROUND CHECK. (All these places will just use you Drivers License & run the background check to make sure you are NOT A FELON, or you DO NOT HAVE A RESTRAINING ORDER for threatening someone, etc). So for most normal people, just schedule time to take their class, get your HQL, then pick out & pay for your gun. Use respect & pay attention to the lessons they are teaching (e.g., "NEVER point at anything or put finger on trigger unless you intend to destroy the target"
It's best if you go with your id and an hql form. But if you go they will help you with the entire process.
I suggest you call them and ask.
Depends on where you live ... Google the requirements or call freestate
Money and all the proper state and federal requirements (i.e. fingerprinting, HQL, I.D.)
Go there and they will explain everything to you. Super nice place
Do they also do the 4hour wear n carry certificates? I already got my HQL i want the wear and carry next.
Depends. If you ask a Democrat, nothing. Just go to a gun show and you'll get one free with entrance. In reality, depends on prior ownership of one how in dept you need to go. Stop in. They will walk you through it.
