There are currently 5 reason listed that are considered "Good and Substantial" reasons for applying for a Maryland CCL. They are:
1.Owner or employee of a business. You must submit photocopies of the Trader's, Business or Narcotics License or Articles of Incorporation to support Business ownership or as an authorized employee. You must also submit photocopies of six random deposit slips or deposits within a year for the business or a letter from the bank attesting that you ...have a business account. If you are an employee, you must submit a letter from your employer on the business letter head, verifying your employment and detailing the requirement or desire from the owner that you be armed.
2. Correctional Officers. Must submit verification of employment and documentation of threats and/or assaults (ie., police reports, facility incident reports, and intelligence reports).
3. Former Police Officers. If you have resigned or have retired, you must provide a photocopy of your retired I.D. card (front and back) and produce a letter from your former agency advising that you resigned/retired in good standing, your official resignation/retirement date and how many years of service. NOTE: Permits are issued based on the "immediacy" of the application and years of service.
4. Private Detective/Security Guard/Special Police/Armored Car Guards. All applicants (unless exempt from training) who are employed as Private Detectives, Security Guards, Special Police Officers and Armored Car Guards must submit firearms qualification score sheet obtained from a Maryland State Police Certified Handgun Instructor on the State Police form. A letter from the employing agency which verifies employment and position, the ownership of the weapon, and location where the weapon will be stored when off duty is also required.

5. Personal Protection. There must be documented evidence of recent threats, robberies, and/or assaults, supported by official police reports or notarized statements from witnesses.
Whats missing? Veterans! I can tell you that there are Maryland Veterans out there that are more qualified to Conceal Carry than most retired Police Officers and certianally Security Guards and or Armored Car Drivers.
I have started this petition so that we can gain enough support and to get our voice heard at the Maryand State Houseso that we can get CCL Rights in Maryland extended to the Veterans of the ARMED FORCES.
Thank you for your support

A well armed veteran, having received training in the effective and safe discharge of a firearm well above and beyond that which a typical police officer receives, could rapidly end a situation which might otherwise result in loss of life or injury to himself or others
Funny how my government trusted me with a fully automatic M16 when I was 19years old, but now they don't trust me with a small pistol.
It's been reported that ISIS has publicly stated that they are targeting active and inactive military members. That includes me; ergo my interest in my right of self-protection.
We have received direct threats against ourselves and our families. The law enforcement agencies, homeland security, etc.. are not here to protect us. They are here to attempt to head off and stop threats or to investigate postmortem. All "shall issue" states do just that. Why can't our own?
Army Veteran and work for a federal law enforement with a criminal justice background and can't get a CCW
Retired Veterans who prove their military experience and honorable discharge should be issued a concealed carry license free of charge.
