Question about the Maryland HQL and medical records.

I heard that if you sign up for an HQL in Maryland, that you essentially sign over your medical records and that even though it's a violation of HIPPA, that it is unlikely anyone would challenge it, because if they had money to challenge the state they would simply leave it instead. Is this true? I want to try and get a job working security and then work up to armed security, but I sure don't want to just blindly sign over my medical records. I don't have the money to contact a lawyer and I have not been able to find solid info anywhere.

Where in the Constitution does it spell all of this out.

Of course it doesn't.

Sure an glad the Army trained me so I don't require this sheit. Matter of fact, pretty sure that I have this merit badge as well. Along with all the range time and training, and being knocked upside the head, as wee lad, by my WWll veteran dad while growing up. Come to think of it ... I was also trained by the Army in the proper use and safety, operation, handling, mechanisms and maintenance, of the M60, the M2, M16A2+, LAW, AT4, and others. And the State still doesn't trust us, veterans. Gotta jump through all kinda hoops just to get a CCW. Maybe it's because we are wary scawey people?

Naaaa, it's the folks that have been voted in office in the state you choose to reside in...

I will say that the most unsafe folks on a range that I've seen are stupid rednecks, a liberal with a new gun and old soldiers that think they know range safety.....

Can't argue with that. But you are right about (some) old soldiers. Recently at a range was a fella who used the "close quarters combat" reason for his shooting prowess and range qualifications. 'Que the eyes rolling into the back of my head. Yeah, sure buddy.'

You may have heard about a section where one who is disqualified may prove they are qualified by providing a:
A SIGNED AUTHORIZATION,ON A FORM APPROVED BY THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT ALLOWING THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT TO ACCESS ALL RELEVANT HEALTH CARE, MENTAL HEALTH, DISABILITY,GUARDIANSHIP, AND CRIMINAL JUSTICE RECORDS, INCLUDING COURT ORDERED OR REQUIRED MENTAL HEALTH RECORDS, OF THE APPLICANT FOR USE WITH THE PROCESS

But that information is not required to submit and HQL application.
