Yes
No

Yes, but only if the handgun is unloaded

The correct answer is: No

In Maryland, it is required for an individual to have a permit to carry a concealed handgun. The state has strict regulations around concealed carry, mandating that individuals must demonstrate a legitimate need for self-defense or have undergone a rigorous application process that includes training and background checks. Carrying a concealed weapon without a valid permit is not allowed under Maryland law, making it necessary for anyone wishing to carry a concealed handgun to obtain the appropriate permits beforehand. This regulation is in place to enhance public safety and ensure responsible firearm ownership within the state.
