Once again the State of Maryland has crapped the bed! As of today, there are no available spots for any students to complete the Maryland Hunter Safety Education Course until Spring 2022.

What the Law Says:

According to Maryland Code, Natural Resources §10–301.1, any Maryland Resident that wants to hunt the state shall:

(a) (1)

(i) On or after July 1, 1977 a person under 18 years of age may not procure a hunting license or hunt in the State, unless the person has first been issued a certificate of competency in firearms and hunter safety.

(ii) On or after July 1, 1977 a person, regardless of age, may not procure a hunting license without producing a certificate of competency or a hunting license issued before July 1, 1977 or making out an affidavit that the person hunted before July 1, 1977.

All of this can be found here:

Where the System Failed the Residents:

In Maryland, you are required to attend a course of instruction followed by a field day.

Since COVID-19 popped off, the System has FAILED the residents of Maryland by not making available enough field days to qualify the students.

Other states, like those listed in the video, have waived the field day requirement.

The Solution:

In the video above, you will see that a solution exists to get a hunter-ed card in a different state that doesn't require a field day. According to Maryland DNR:

(3) Any similar certificate, or hunting license, issued outside the State by a governmental agency, shall be accepted as complying with the requirements of paragraph (1) of this subsection, if the privileges are reciprocal for Maryland residents. From the DNR Website:

Maryland accepts hunter education certifications from all other U.S. States. If you possess a hunter education certificate/card from another state, it will be accepted in Maryland as proof of meeting our hunter education requirement and completion of a Maryland hunter education course would not be required.

Carrying a handgun, lawfully, in public in a concealed manner is known as the concealed carry or ccw. The ccw permit is a Government Issue license for a carrying a handgun in public. Every state has their own set of gun rules and may or may not honor other state’s permit, depending on their policy. What is the best concealed carry permit to get?

It is possible to get a non-resident concealed carry permit from another state that may work in the home state and it may cover other states that the home state permit does not. The ccw permit from Idaho has the highest recognition as it is honored in 39 states. Also, Wyoming is a permit less state for residents as-well-as being a shall-issue jurisdiction. Wyoming concealed carry firearm permit issued by the attorney general’s office have reciprocity in 36 other states, and are valid for five years. It is possible for someone to obtain multiple state permits to increase the number of states where the owner can legally carry a concealed firearm. It is a common practice to get help of a reciprocity map to understand which state will honor the gun-owner’s combination of resident and non-resident concealed carry permits.
