We were impressed by the excellent shooting displayed by all participants, and it was a great group of people to spend the weekend with. We truly appreciate your dedication to responsible firearm ownership and training.

Time-Sensitive Update for Maryland Wear & Carry Permit Holders

From: Atlantic Tactical Fi****ms Trainers

Please be advised of an important, time-sensitive update following a ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit on January 20, 2026, concerning Maryland’s fi****ms carry restrictions.

The court largely upheld the state’s “sensitive places / restricted areas” carry rules. However, it struck down one key provision and reinstated two restrictions that had been previously blocked by a lower court.-----Key Takeaways: Where Carry Restrictions Remain Enforceable (Examples)

The following locations are generally upheld as restricted areas:
Government buildings
Schools and school grounds
Public transportation / mass transit facilities
Healthcare facilities
Museums
Stadiums, racetracks, amusement parks, and casinos
State parks, state forests, and Chesapeake Forest Lands

The Major Change: Private Property
The court struck down Maryland’s rule that automatically prohibited carry on private property open to the public unless the owner explicitly granted consent.

Important Note: Property owners retain the right to prohibit fi****ms through posted signage, direct notice, established policies, and trespass enforcement. This ruling removes the state’s automatic presumption of "no-carry," but does not affect a property owner's ability to set their own rules.
-----Recommended Next Steps

Plan Accordingly: Treat the "sensitive places" list above as enforceable when planning your daily carry.
Exercise Caution:

Stay Informed: Related issues are currently under review at the U.S. Supreme Court, and the rules are subject to further change.

Don't forget to check your permit's expiration date! Avoid waiting until the last minute to complete the 8-hour refresher class required for renewal. Remember, the Maryland State Police (MSP) typically takes about 60 days to process your permit once you submit the necessary paperwork. Don’t risk being unable to carry because you delayed your training and paperwork submission.

We have some exciting classes coming up, including an all-women's Maryland Wear & Carry class and an advanced pistol renewal course that takes place once a month. Please call the office at 410-546-0003 or sign up online at www.salisburyfiresacademy.com.
