2. For a first-time gun owner in Maryland, what’s your top piece of advice?

3. What specific challenges do Maryland residents face regarding concealed carry? 

• Navigating a maze blindfolded. We help remove the blindfold and give you a map – of knowledge and legal awareness. 

4. Should I get a Utah Conceal Carry License? 

• If you already hold a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit, you have the option to obtain non-resident permits from both Pennsylvania and Florida. This approach would allow you to legally carry in a total of 38 states. However, acquiring a Utah permit requires taking an additional class. Therefore, sticking with the Maryland Wear and Carry Permit, supplemented by Pennsylvania and Florida non-resident permits, is more cost-effective than pursuing a Utah permit. 

5. Should I get a Washington DC conceal carry permit? 

• If you're a resident of Washington, D.C., obtaining a local concealed carry permit is an option. However, a closer examination of the D.C. concealed carry restrictions map reveals that the areas where carrying is permitted are quite limited. Given these constraints, we believe that pursuing a Washington, D.C. permit may not provide a worthwhile return on your investment.
