Who is required to complete a Firearms Safety Training Course in Maryland?

  1. All firearms owners

  2. First-time handgun purchasers

  3. Law enforcement officials

  4. Minors under 18

The correct answer is: First-time handgun purchasers

In the state of Maryland, first-time handgun purchasers are required to complete a Firearms Safety Training Course. This is mandated by law to ensure that individuals understand the proper handling and use of firearms. The other options are not necessarily required to complete this course. While all firearms owners are encouraged to take a safety training course, it is not legally mandated. Law enforcement officials may have completed similar training in their line of work, but it is not required for them to purchase a handgun. Minors under 18 are not legally allowed to purchase or possess a handgun, so they would not be required to complete a safety training course.
