Does Maryland accept VA’s concealed carry permit ( CCP )?

[efeng9622]

I am living in Virginia, I just want to know that Maryland accepts Virginia’s CCP or not ? How about DC right now ? Can resident apply CCP or very difficult?

Thanks!

According to Handgunlaw.us neither MD nor DC will recognize your VA permit.
MD does not issue nonresident permits.
DC theoretically will but you have to "show need" which nobody can please them on.

Technically, MD issues permits* equally regardless of where you live. Resident and non-resident are the same.



* -- to anyone they WILL issue a permit to, which is practically nobody.


Suffice it to say, neither jurisdiction will honor a permit from elsewhere and if you manage to obtain a permit from either place you will be one of the VERY, VERY few who have.

Basically, you can forget about carrying a gun in either Maryland or the District.

Heck -- I even swap KNIVES when I know I'll cross the border into D.C. or Maryland, to lower profile blades...

Neither Maryland nor DC will accept the VA carry permit. (They don't call it the People's Republic of Maryland for nothing.) You can try to apply for a non-resident permit, in theory, but don't expect any success. I don't miss going to DC since the only thing there I care about is the Library of Congress. But the MD situation is darn inconvenient.

Because Maryland and DC are so safe?

As safe as any other Gun-Free-Zones.

I heard on the news today that DC just passed some sort of law that will give people money for NOT committing crimes.

Amen! And which state are you less likely to be shot in? I mean, come on!

There are more lawmen here than non law & visitors combined
