Re: Frustration - too close to MD
These threads piss me off to no end. No one should have to worry about being lawfully armed simply because they cross a state border.

Re: Frustration - too close to MD
Get your Utah permit, then DE and OH are now "legal". NY, NJ, and MD can go suck it. Except sometimes I use "interstate transport" to get through MD to WV if I don't have the time to ride out to Somerset county so's to cross directly. I also use interstate transport to cross the Dead Lands to get to the USA's enclave known as VT, NH, and ME.

Re: Frustration - too close to MD
Agree!!!
I just traveled to Northern Virginia this past June for Vacation and had to go through that one section of Rte 81 in Maryland. Granted I had a (towed) RV with my Handgun locked up under the bed and the magazine locked in an exterior compartment. Regardless of FOPA, I still shit a brick the entire 15 min. drive through that state.Last edited by pacpiper; August 19th, 2014 at 07:39 AM.

Re: Frustration - too close to MD
I literally live less than 5 miles from MD. It does suck major ass. I have to think hard and consider my route whenever I'm carrying, many times I end up leaving the gun at home because I think I may cross the Mason Dixon line. I know where all the road side pull offs and parking lots are at the state line so I can stop, unload and lock it up before crossing into MD. The up side is I spend very little of my shopping money in MD because I don't feel like disarming myself.
My advice, get used to disarming, leaving it at home and following the law, it's not worth getting caught. It's a felony in MD now. I got caught with a pistol n my glove box back in 94, it was a misdemeanor then and it still cost me a lot of money and caused me a lot of trouble that in some ways I'm still paying for. 20 years later and I still recall parts of that event vividly. It was an experience that I'm sure has shaped my current feelings about law enforcement and the people involved.
If you feel you need to carry, then stay out of MD, or at least pass right through it and follow the "interstate transportation of firearms" laws.
It's really a toss up, your chances of having a devastatingly horrible encounter with a criminal are probably about the same as having a horrible encounter with a LEO so pick you poison, jail, fines and loss of rights verses getting beaten, killed or robbed.

Re: Frustration - too close to MD
I had to go to MD today so I left the gun at home. I felt very uneasy the whole time although I didn't feel vulnerable to violence, it was more like I felt violated and pissed off.

Re: Frustration - too close to MD
If you are driving through the Peoples Republic of MD and get stopped, DO NOT tell the officer you are carrying concealed. If you are stopped for say speeding, just act normal and when he asks if he can search your car, SAY NO!!!!! You do not have to give a reason. I spent 29 yrs in law enforcement and retired from Baltimore County PD. I will not allow a search period, the end.
My wife has her CC permit and works in MD and several times she has forgotten and carried into MD, she is just careful with what she does, and does not get overly concerned. Most police officers would not know you are carrying in the first place, they just do not notice.

Re: Frustration - too close to MD
There are many places along the MD line where you can easily cross unintentionally. There's usually one sign but on some roads there are no signs at all. You can go from upstanding, law abiding citizen to committing felony just like that and not even know it and to make it worse there are cops and prosecutors who have orgasms over busting people like that.
