Re: Pa.thru Md. to Va.
I hear there are already several 4th Amendment lawsuits from people stopped and searched on I-95 simply because they had been issued a CCW/LTCF in their home state and it popped up on the troopers plate search. If I remember right all were from Florida, and none had a firearm with them.

Re: Pa.thru Md. to Va.
Seems to me the states open themselves up to lawsuits from law abiding citizens who are @ a disadvantage for not knowing who's aware of their gun-carrying status. If a citizen with no criminal record wants to CC thru several states, I believe it's none of the state's business, as long as the weapon is kept concealed. Why make trouble with the local LEOs?

Re: Pa.thru Md. to Va.
It doesn't really matter whether the firearm is MD compliant, so long as he's meeting the terms of 18 U.S. Code § 926A.
18 U.S. Code § 926A - Interstate transportation of firearms
Notwithstanding any other provision of any law or any rule or regulation of a State or any political subdivision thereof, any person who is not otherwise prohibited by this chapter from transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any other place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, and neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment of such transporting vehicle: Provided, That in the case of a vehicle without a compartment separate from the driver’s compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked container other than the glove compartment or console.I am not a lawyer. Nothing I say or write is legal advice.

Re: Pa.thru Md. to Va.
Was this cop doing what I thought he was? I was driving through central Maryland to attend a club dinner, and as I got off the freeway I saw a state trooper following me up the ramp. As we were stopped at the light, I watched the trooper looking down and to the right in his vehicle. Was he running my plates? Why should he be doing that? I have no bumper stickers of any kind on the car and my car actually resembles a police car. With a police car on my bumper I make sure to avoid anything to create a pretext for a stop. The only distinctive features on the car are some references to a comic character who drives a big black car. Does that give probable cause to start checking into my life?

While many claim to support the right, precious few support the practice.
