I have had a permit since 1989 and have 14 instructors with permits as
well....Basically, MD permits need a business type of reason to be
approved in this State.

A conversation I had with FSgt Shaw of MSP shows their thinking:

Me: If someone lives in a 'bad' neighborhood or travels through that
type of neighborhood, they are truly in fear of death or great bodily
harm and should be issued a permit.

FSgt Shaw: But then we'd have to issue permits to everyone!

Me: So what's wrong with that???

END OF CONVERSATION!
