Is it possible for an "average, normal" guy to obtain a CCL in MD? I've read all the laws - business owner, proof of threat, etc...
Is it worth the trouble at all, or not worth fighting for?
Is there any possiblity or should I just write it off completely?
Pretty ridiclous you need "proof" that you need it for self defense. I think traveling/living/working in and throughout downtown Baltimore is reason enough.... obviously the laws in MD don't agree with me though.

Basically, not realistically.
I had a business, they wanted PROOF of receipts of ROUTINE deposits of 10K$+ in cash.
I had been getting threats. They said if the threats were valid, they'd arrest the people making them, and no permit would be issued because the threat didn't exist any more. If the threats weren't valid enough to get a warrant, then they weren't valid enough to get a CCW.
Any money you put into an application would be no different than tossing into a fire, in my opinion.
