Maryland CCW FAQs
How Much Does a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit Cost?
The Maryland State Police charge $125 for an initial Wear and Carry Permit application and $75 for a renewal. Replacements and modifications cost $20 each. These fees are non-refundable, and you also pay separately for LiveScan fingerprinting and your training class.
How Long Is the Maryland Concealed Carry Class?
The initial class is at least 16 hours of in-person instruction with a Qualified Handgun Instructor, including classroom topics and a live-fire qualification on a range. Renewal classes are 8 hours. Initial training must be completed within 2 years before you apply.
Does Maryland Have Permitless Carry?
No. Maryland does not have permitless carry. You need a Wear and Carry Permit from the Maryland State Police to wear, carry, or transport a handgun in public outside of limited exceptions set in state law.
How Long Does It Take to Get a Maryland Carry Permit?
The Maryland State Police Licensing Division aims to issue a final decision within 90 days of receiving a complete application. Plan for about 90 days for a new permit, 90 days for a renewal, and 30 days for a replacement.
How Old Do You Have to Be to Carry a Gun in Maryland?
You must be at least 21 years old to get a Wear and Carry Permit. Active members of the armed forces, National Guard, or uniformed services may apply under 21.
How Do You Renew a Maryland Wear and Carry Permit?
Start your renewal in the Licensing Portal up to 90 days before expiration, complete an 8 hour renewal class unless you are exempt, upload the signed MSP 29-14 score sheet, and pay the $75 fee. Submit at least 14 days before expiration so you can keep carrying while it is reviewed. Renewals are valid for 3 years. If your permit has already expired, you must reapply as a new applicant with full training and fingerprints.
Do You Need a Holster to Carry in Maryland?
Maryland law does not require a holster when you carry with a Wear and Carry Permit. A holster is still the safest way to carry, because it protects the trigger, keeps the gun in place, and gives you a consistent draw. If you carry, choose one that covers the trigger guard completely and holds the gun securely, like a KYDEX holster molded to your exact gun.
