I actually found a very good gun store in Carrol County. Speaking with the owner he THOUGHT I could take the class if I wanted to, even being a PA resident. But he was not 100% sure.Does MD even have a non-resident license? I cannot tell by nosing around https://mdsp.maryland.gov/Organization/Pages/CriminalInvestigationBureau/LicensingDivision.aspx
I could tell you would have to go to MD not only for an approved trainer, but also for an approved LiveScan location for your fingerprints.
If MD will not issue a wear and carry license with a PA address should you use a MD address, in the county you apply for a MD license, that might open you up to a variety of other MD laws regarding taxes, vehicle registration, etc. Just overall messy situation, I think. Good luck!

Quick question, I get this impression that having a FL CWP is a good one, is that true and why?
Well, based upon some older research, which may require updating, I am considering UT and MA. I am a Texas resident. The UT carry license would be for traveling in WA state, as WA did not, last time I checked, recognize a TX LTC. The MA carry permit would be to facilitate legally transporting through NY under the provisions of FOPA.
Cool, I have family in NV
If you had a stack of gold bars you could probably get these permitsI would like to have CA and NY. I would also like to have a stack of gold bars. Both are about equally likely.
I can find absolutely nothing online that backs up this statement for concealed handguns. Can you point me to some verification of this?One thing that needs to be mentioned is Nevada doesn't allow chamber carry for non residents. In my carry class, the intrusctor described how you'll get in a lot of trouble there if you have a round loaded in the chamber if you're non resident. So you have to keep the chamber empty for there.
I've got MN as a resident, and Utah as a non-resident, mainly for the additional states it offered for very little cost, esp in the Southwest. If I wanted any others, it would be Florida, but I would need to either go to Florida to take the course or find someone in MN that instructed Florida.
Why the FL Nonresident with a SC Resident? As far as I can see that only gives you DE. Looks like CO and PA only do resident FL permits?So I have my SC CWP, have had it now for decades. Got my Florida non-resident permit some years ago when my youngest daughter, my Dr. of Psychology, moved down there with her husband and children. We're down in Florida now quite a bit at our second home.

I beg to disagree. Colorado honors permits from 34 other states... unfortunately Minnesota is not one of them.This was not the case when I got my Florida permit in 2017. They accepted a copy of my Minnesota permit as valid proof of training.
I am dropping my Utah permit application tomorrow, my parents live in Washington state now, and that's the only nonresident permit I can get locally that is valid there.
Irritatingly I would like to get a Colorado permit and an Illinois one so I could carry driving through Chicago and so I could vacation in Colorado. But Colorado doesn't recognize nonresident permits at all or my Minnesota permit.
Instructors have been known from time to time to be misinformed (and to then pass on that misinformation.)
My NH resident permit and MA, CT and FL non-resident permits make me good for 36 states. I'd sure love to be able to get RI and NY, but as you said, a stack of gold bars is about as likely.I would like to have CA and NY. I would also like to have a stack of gold bars. Both are about equally likely.
Not as such, but non-residents can get an MD Wear & Carry permit. The problem is that the State Police is very sticky with them for everybody. Maryland is a may-but-probably-won't-issue state.Does MD even have a non-resident license?

You can get an unrestricted MA non-resident permit that will allow you to carry. I've had one since 2017, and I got it when I was living in CT.I am working on my non-resident MA to shoot with family. MA is also recognized by absolutely no one else and you can't even carry.
But it does let me take my guns through MA to NH to actually have fun in a free state!
That's not what I said, I said they don't recognize nonresident permits. They recognize permits from a lot of other states, but you have to be a resident of the state issuing the permit they recognize. They recognize Florida's permit, but they don't recognize my Florida permit, because I'm not a Florida resident. South Carolina has that same irritating clause in their permit law. Since I'm a resident of a state whose permit they don't recognize, I'm just SOL, no amount of permit-collecting will let me carry in Colorado.
HandgunLaw's .pdf for Colorado even has that stated in bold, red print.
