MD CCW update

Details are still sketchy, but there may be some Shenanigans going on with a tacked on training requirement for CCW.  This requirement would be open ended, supposedly.  Techinically some bureaucrat could decide I need to resubmit for a permit after a 6 week and $10,000 training course or summat.  The requirement is a tack on to another bill that exempted federal law enforcement types from training.  HB 579.

It sounds like internet rumor, but it's on MD Shall Issue website so...  Wait and see.

[Update:  The concern seems like baloney, but I contacted my Delegate anyway with my concerns, overall, and to touch base.]

[update 2:  The amendment http://marylandshallissue.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/hb0579t.pdf

"(5) HAS COMPLETED A CERTIFIED FIREARMS SAFETY TRAINING COURSE IN PERSON APPROVED BY THE POLICE TRAINING COMMISSION BEFORE SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION FOR A PERMIT; "]
