    Default Transporting firearms and DUI

    I have heard rumors that there are additional charges if you are carrying firearms in your car if you get a DUI. Is this true? What about being pulled over with controlled substances? Are there additional penalties for being caught driving drunk or with drugs while transporting firearms in a legal manner? Anything you can tell me about this in PA or MD would be appriciated'

    Uh yeah, if they're illegal firearms.

    Don't drink and drive while transporting illegal weapons, and drugs and you should be alright

    AFAIK, you can be drunker than a skunk, get pulled over, and as long as you have a valid LTCF, your not in any trouble for the guns. You'll simply get a DUI.

    Getting pulled over with a gun (valid LTCF or not) with controlled substances in your car will most definitely get you in a shitload more trouble than if you were strictly caught with a controlled substance and no gun.

    Yeah that's what I thought too. But I would bet half my stash of guns that they will try and charge you with shit.

    I'm talking about legal firearms in the car with misdemeanor amounts of CDs. Will having the legal firearms make the cd charge a felony?

    I wouldn't mess with it.

    Don't drive drunk, with, or without guns. That's just stupid.

    And leave the gun home when you go buy your drugs. That would just make a bad situation worse.

    Hmmmm is this something that has happened, or you plan to happen?

    If it has happened:
    Get a lawyer.


    If you're planning for it to happen:
    DON'T DRINK AND DRIVE! and your question is moot.

    But, you need your gat when you're buying drugs! Leaving it at home could be dangerous!

    Where are these people coming from. Anyone with half a brain wouldn't even think about using or buying drugs with any firearm, legal or not.
