John Joseph “Joey” Kundrat IV:

Joey does not hold any permits to carry so he does not carry a firearm at this time.  The fact he is under 21 years old contributes to him not carrying yet.  Joey makes numerous appearances throughout our courses of instruction and can be heard reciting his ever popular “If you have a CCW you don’t need an HQL” line at the beginning of the Maryland Law 2 lesson in our Maryland Wear and Carry Course.
