Can any one tell me the do's and don'ts of CCW for MD

You will NEVER get a CCW unless your life is threatend (and you have to prove it) or you wander with huge amounts of cash  (but only when on your way to deposit such)... or you're politically connected.   In short... You won't get a CCW... you can't open carry (altho ya might in the deep woods (not the parks) but up in the mountains.  'Still illegal... but odds of crossing a LEO of any type are slim to none.

2A carry is non existant in MD for the most part... beyond your front door.  One of the reasons I ESCAPED! :cuss:

I appreciate all the help.....and to answer some of your questions
It is real, yes it cost a lot being that I had to pay for the class (250.00)
I had to past said class with an 80% or better. I then had to fill out all the paper
work have it notarized 3x(25.00), have my finger prints taken 3x (30.00)
had to also prove by legal paper work(and a supervisor) that I work in a capacity were I receive threats, and do the private interview with the state police. I know no Judges, have no Connected lawyers or know any.
and am no way a Politician or know any of them. I do know around 5760 so called humans that I'm around 8-12 hrs a day that at least most of them would take my life in a hot second, more then likely faster then that on the street if and when they would see me.
that also is were me and my wife meet one, and I decided to apply.

I can't be 100% butI believe the permit you are issued in MD is to carry a firearm. It makes no distinction between CC and OC. You could in theory OC with your permit. I have heard that if you do decide to OC don't expect to keep your permit. It will be revoked under the guise of "disturbance of the peace" disorderly conduct" or some other "YOU SCARED THE SHEEP!!" BS!!

You may be covered under LEOSA. You may want to check into that. Many CO's are. The BOP qualifies. Go though 18 USC 926B. Read the section line by line, if you answer yes to those questions you qualify.

The answer to your question is that legally speaking, a Maryland permit is to "wear, transport, or carry" a handgun. It is not a CCW, concealment is not mandatory and the permit is only good for pistols, not for other weapons, although, you can carry any blade in maryland as long as it is in open view.
