In order to carry a concealed firearm in Maryland, an individual must have what?

A Firearms Safety Training Course certificate
A valid driver's license
A Wear and Carry Permit
A Handgun Qualification License

The correct answer is: A Wear and Carry Permit

To legally carry a concealed firearm in Maryland, an individual must obtain a Wear and Carry Permit. This permit is specifically designed to authorize individuals to carry a concealed handgun in public. The process to obtain this permit includes meeting specific eligibility requirements, such as demonstrating a good and substantial reason to carry a concealed weapon, passing a background check, and completing required training courses. While a Firearms Safety Training Course certificate is beneficial and often a requirement during the application process for the permit, it is not the permit itself. A valid driver’s license is also not sufficient for concealed carry; it simply serves as a form of identification and proof of residency. Lastly, the Handgun Qualification License is necessary for purchasing a handgun in Maryland but is separate from the requirements for carrying a concealed weapon. Hence, the correct option reflects the specific legal requirement for concealed carry in the state.
