What’s the difference between HQL and Wear & Carry?
The HQL relates to purchasing, renting, or receiving a handgun in Maryland, subject to exemptions. A Wear & Carry permit relates to carrying a handgun. They serve different purposes. Contact David to discuss which training you need and review the Maryland State Police HQL guidance.
How often do I renew my Wear & Carry permit?
After the initial permit period, Maryland Wear & Carry permits are renewed for three-year terms. The initial permit expires at the end of your birth month two years after issuance. Check the expiration date on your permit and plan ahead. Renewal training generally requires at least eight hours; an expired permit requires a new application and initial training. Check current Maryland renewal guidance.
Is first aid included in BLS?
BLS focuses on CPR, AED use, and relief of choking for healthcare professionals and others who need these skills. First aid is a separate course offering. Tell David what your employer or organization requires so you can choose the right class. Read AHA course FAQs.
Where are classes held, and how do I sign up?
KPH Training teaches in the Darlington, Maryland area. Email David@kphtraining.com or call 443-406-5003 with the course you’re interested in. David will confirm upcoming dates, pricing, the class location, and what to bring.
Does completing a class guarantee a Maryland permit?
No. Completing the required training is one part of the application process. Maryland State Police determines eligibility and issues licenses and permits. Application requirements, fees, and exemptions are separate from your training.
