Is a Wear and Carry Permit required to transport a handgun in a vehicle in Maryland?

  1. Yes, at all times

  2. No, if the handgun is unloaded and locked in a container

  3. No, if the handgun is visible

  4. Yes, but only for loaded handguns

The correct answer is: No, if the handgun is unloaded and locked in a container

A Wear and Carry Permit is only required to carry a handgun on one's person in Maryland. Option A is incorrect because a permit is not required at all times, including during transport of an unloaded and locked handgun. Option C is also incorrect as a permit is still required even if the handgun is visible. Option D is incorrect because it states that a permit is required for loaded handguns, which is not the case. The correct answer, B, states that a Wear and Carry Permit is not required if the handgun is unloaded and locked in a container, providing an explanation as to why it is the correct choice.
