How long is a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit valid before it must be renewed?

1 year
2 years
3 years
5 years

The correct answer is: 5 years

A Maryland Wear and Carry Permit is valid for 2 years from the date of issuance. This means that after the initial 2-year period, the permit holder must apply for a renewal in order to continue carrying a firearm legally. The other options provided do not reflect the correct duration of validity for this specific permit. A 1-year duration is too short, considering that many permits typically span a longer time frame. A 3-year duration is also not standard for this permit type, as Maryland specifically sets it at 2 years. Lastly, a 5-year validity is excessive and is not aligned with Maryland regulations concerning this permit.
