How long is the Handgun Qualification License (HQL) valid in Maryland?

  1. 5 years

  2. 10 years

  3. 3 years

  4. Indefinitely

The correct answer is: 10 years

A Incorrect. The HQL is valid for a longer period of time than 5 years. C: Incorrect. The HQL is valid for a longer period of time than 3 years. D: Incorrect. While the HQL is valid indefinitely once obtained, it must be renewed every 10 years in order to remain valid. The correct answer is 10 years. The HQL is valid for a period of 10 years in Maryland, after which it must be renewed in order to continue possessing a handgun in the state. While option D may seem like a correct answer, it is important to note that the license must still be renewed every 10 years, so it is not technically valid indefinitely. Options A and C are incorrect as they suggest a shorter validity period than the correct answer.
