What is considered a 'good and substantial reason' for obtaining a Wear and Carry Permit in Maryland?

  1. Self-defense

  2. Employment requirements

  3. Hunting and sport shooting

  4. A and B

The correct answer is: A and B

A good and substantial reason for obtaining a Wear and Carry Permit in Maryland must meet certain criteria that demonstrate a clear necessity for the individual to carry a handgun for their own safety or the safety of others. While options A and B (self-defense and employment requirements) are both considered valid reasons for obtaining a permit, option C (hunting and sport shooting) may not meet the criteria unless there is a specific need for the individual to carry a handgun while engaged in these activities. Therefore, option D, which includes both A and B, is the correct answer as it covers both of the valid reasons for obtaining a Wear and Carry Permit in Maryland.
