June 23rd 2022 Supreme Court Decision Update
We are working full-time to offer the 16 hour training to wear and carry candidates in Maryland. Call Pistol Instructor Barry Donadio directly to arrange your session now 202-631-1153 direct cell
What's next after the June 23rd 2022 decision?
Our best guess is that the State of Maryland will now include SELF DEFENSE as a category to apply for a wear and carry permit. It was not a listed category prior to June 23rd 2022. We believe everything thing else in the application process will remain the same. Contact your attorney or the Maryland State Police for the final say.
What can you do now?
Keep following all the rules and laws under Maryland law and the Handgun permit section of the Maryland State Police until they make changes to the wear and carry application process We think you should obtain your 16 hour wear and carry training in advance of the changes that are coming in order to get it done and be ready to submit your application.
How do I arrange times and dates for the training?
Call Pistol Instructor Barry Donadio directly on his cell phone 202-631-1153 There is a massive surge in requests for this training and if he does not answer he will return your call asap. You can also email him at barrydonadio@yahoo.com or text him.
