They can however, make it exremely burdensome to do so, both from a time, and financial standpoint. Maryland (as well as DC and IL) requires a 16 hour class that must include a shooting qualification in order to apply for a permit to “wear and carry” a firearm in Maryland. So, we have developed a class that will satisfy all of the requirments and then some!

That’s a good question, and the answer is: You can legally carry a concealed firearm in 38 states with the combination of both a Virginia Resident and a Utah Non-Resident Permit.  So, as you travel, a Utah concealed carry permit will allow you to protect yourself in more states than just a Virginia Resident Concealed Handgun Permit alone.

Or, you live in Maryland, or DC and would like to have some reciprocity with other states so you can legally carry out side of Maryland or DC as neither have any reciprocity (as of 2024) with other states.
