What does the Maryland Wear and Carry Permit NOT allow an individual to do?

Carry a concealed weapon
Carry a firearm openly where lawful
Carry a firearm on school property
All of the above

The correct answer is: Carry a firearm on school property

The Maryland Wear and Carry Permit does not allow an individual to carry a firearm on school property. This is due to Maryland laws that prohibit firearms in educational institutions, aiming to maintain a safe environment for students and staff. Even with a Wear and Carry Permit, individuals must adhere to the restrictions placed on carrying firearms in specific locations, such as schools. Carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a firearm openly where lawful are both permitted under the Wear and Carry Permit, provided that individuals comply with other stipulations set forth by Maryland law. These aspects of the permit demonstrate the balance in regulations between individual rights to carry firearms and the need for safety in sensitive environments such as educational settings.
