Which of the following individuals is prohibited from possessing a firearm in Maryland?

A person convicted of a violent crime
A person under the age of 21
A non-resident of Maryland
A person without a Firearms Safety Training Course Certificate

The correct answer is: A person convicted of a violent crime

Convicted individuals of violent crimes are prohibited from possessing firearms in Maryland because they pose a potential danger to themselves or others. This decision is made to ensure public safety and prevent further violence. The other options are incorrect because being under the age of 21, being a non-resident of Maryland, or not having a Firearms Safety Training Course Certificate do not necessarily indicate a potential danger and therefore do not prohibit an individual from possessing a firearm.
