Time: 1:00 p.m.
Address: Joint Hearing Room

  • Social Security number is required to be listed on handgun qualification license application

Please keep in mind that testimony at this hearing will be strictly limited to the content of the regulations, not SB 281 itself.  Click here to view more details.

You are also invited to attend a gathering of Second Amendment supporters at 11:00 a.m. on Lawyers’ Mall in Annapolis before this public hearing. Pro-gun state legislators and activists will provide updates and information at this event on the continuing fight for your rights in Maryland.
