I'm looking at getting a Maryland Wear and Carry permit just like everyone else, but I don't like the idea of doing training all the time, and if I'm going to spend time and money doing it, I might as well get the most bang for my buck (and honestly: my limited PTO - sigh).
The current law is here regarding permit requirements:
Reading through the law, it seems there are two ways that I as a non-veteran can bypass the training req't. One is:
The other option is:
MSP site talking about Qualified Handgun Instructor stuff:
In order to become NRA Pistol Instructor I need two courses, the NRA Basic Pistol and the NRA Pistol Instructor. From https://firearmtraining.nra.org/become-an-instructor/:
Is instructor led required for the Basic Pistol? It doesn't read as such to me, and the NRA has a $60 online course that I'd rather do, especially after having done the NRA hunter training, which was quite informative.
Are there other means of becoming a Maryland Qualified Handgun Instructor? Perhaps another organization that has similar instructor training that MSP accepts?
I'll take any knowledge that you all have to help me . I doubt I would train many people mostly because I like to keep it low profile and fun in life, but I also think I would enjoy learning some of this training. I also would think it fun to participate in developing an open source set of slides for everyone to use for training, including information from sources around the country wrt wear and carry laws and defensive law realities.
Thanks!

Reading through the law, it seems there are two ways that I as a non-veteran can bypass the training req't. One is:
If anyone knows a course, that would be awesome. I would prefer this, but I feel like the Secretary probably only hands this course out to his friends. I'm also cool with becoming that guy's friend if anyone has an in. I make good beer, wine, and cider and know how to curtsy when necessary.(4) has completed a firearms training course approved by the Secretary.

Now I can become a Maryland trained qualified handgun instructor, but I can get the NRA pistol instructor just the same - and that's valid everywhere. The NRA training appears to be lifetime with payments every two years to maintain an active license.(3) is a qualified handgun instructor

In order to become NRA Pistol Instructor I need two courses, the NRA Basic Pistol and the NRA Pistol Instructor. From https://firearmtraining.nra.org/become-an-instructor/:
- Candidates must have completed the basic course in the discipline they wish to be certified to teach, e.g. NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting (Instructor Led Only), NRA Basic Rifle Shooting, etc.
- Candidates must possess and demonstrate a solid background in firearm safety and shooting skills acquired through previous firearm training and/or previous shooting experience. Instructor candidates must be intimately familiar with each action type in the discipline for which they wish to be certified.
- Candidates will be required to demonstrate solid and safe firearm handling skills required to be successful during an instructor training course by completing pre-course questionnaires and qualification exercises administered by the NRA Certified Training Counselor.
- Candidates must satisfactorily complete an NRA Instructor Training Course in the discipline they wish to teach (e.g., NRA Basic Pistol Course), and receive the endorsement of the NRA Training Counselor conducting that training.
Is instructor led required for the Basic Pistol? It doesn't read as such to me, and the NRA has a $60 online course that I'd rather do, especially after having done the NRA hunter training, which was quite informative.
