In Maryland, who is generally exempt from needing a Handgun Qualification License (HQL) to purchase a handgun?

  1. First-time buyers

  2. Law enforcement officers

  3. Non-residents

  4. All residents over the age of 21

The correct answer is: Law enforcement officers

In Maryland, law enforcement officers are generally exempt from needing an HQL to purchase a handgun because they are already trained and licensed to carry firearms in the state. This exemption does not pertain to first-time buyers, non-residents, or all residents over the age of 21. First-time buyers and non-residents must go through the process of obtaining an HQL before purchasing a handgun in Maryland, and not all residents over the age of 21 may be qualified or trained to handle firearms safely. Therefore, option B, law enforcement officers, is the correct answer.
