Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Maryland HQL and WCP training.
The HQL is a license required by Maryland law to purchase, rent, or transfer a regulated firearm from a licensed dealer. Applicants must complete a state-approved firearms safety training course, submit fingerprints, and apply through the Maryland State Police (MSP).
The WCP allows you to carry a handgun on your person in Maryland. It requires completing a 16-hour MSP-approved training course, demonstrating a good reason to carry, a background check, and approval from the MSP Licensing Division.
HQL requires a 4-hour state-approved course. Completing our 16-hour WCP course also satisfies this requirement — students who take the WCP bundle can apply for both permits without taking a separate HQL class.
WCP training also requires 16 hours of MSP-approved instruction, covering advanced firearm safety, Maryland carry laws, and a live-fire qualification. Contact us for current class schedules.
No experience is necessary for the HQL course — it is designed for all skill levels. The WCP course is more advanced and some prior experience with handguns is helpful but not required.
After submitting your MSP application, HQL processing typically takes 30–90 days. WCP processing can take 90–120 days. We help you submit a complete, accurate application to avoid delays.
We offer competitive, all-inclusive pricing. Contact us through the form above for a personalized quote. Bundle pricing is available for those pursuing both HQL and WCP.
