What is required to purchase a regulated firearm in Maryland?

Handgun Qualification License
Driver's License
Proof of employment
Social Security Number

The correct answer is: Handgun Qualification License

In order to purchase a regulated firearm in Maryland, you are required to have a Handgun Qualification License (HQL). This license is only issued after completing a training course and background check, making it the most appropriate choice out of the options given. Other forms of identification, such as a driver's license or social security number, do not fulfill the state's requirement for purchasing a regulated firearm. Similarly, proof of employment does not satisfy the necessary criteria for obtaining an HQL. Therefore, the only correct option for purchasing a firearm in Maryland is to have an HQL.
