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.

Any Delaware resident seeking to purchase a handgun who does not possess a valid CCDW license must now apply for a permit before purchasing a handgun.

Competitive shooters with valid classification cards from the NRA, IDPA, IPSC, or USPSA

Anyone acquiring a permit must submit a completed application form, a valid Delaware driver's license or state ID, the fi****ms training course certificate or proof of exemption, and additional documentation for law-enforcement, military, or other exemption status (if applicable).
