Handguns cannot be carried, open or concealed, without a permit issued by the Maryland State Police. Permits are issued for security guards, cash handlers, private detectives, retired police officers, and pharmacists or doctors (who handle narcotics). There is a provision where a permit may be issued to a private citizen for personal protection if that person can show 3 police- or court-documented threats on their life, but this is never granted due to the capricious and secretive manner in which the permit applications are reviewed.
Non-firearm weapons are governed by a single statute: Title 4-101 of the Criminal Code. It is illegal to carry concealedany dirk knife, bowie knife, switchblade knife, star knife, sandclub, metal knuckles, razor, and nunchaku. It is legal to carry such weapons openly in plain sight. It is legal to carry folding knives and pepper spray concealed.
