WASHINGTON (AP) - A state permit to carry a concealed firearm would be valid in almost every other state in the country under legislation the House passed Wednesday.
The first pro-gun bill the House has taken up this year and the first since Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was severely injured in a gun attack in January, it had the National Rifle Association's backing and passed by a comfortable margin. The vote was 272-154, with only seven Republicans voting against it and 43 Democrats supporting it.
The Democratic-controlled Senate has no parallel bill. But two years ago, GOP Sens. John Thune of South Dakota and David Vitter of Louisiana nearly succeeded in attaching a similar measure to a larger bill.

But, will we be able to carry in Maryland, even if we have a federal permit?
I guess you didn't read the post all the way...
It says Illinois and DC can not carry guns... basically no permits can be obtained... secondly if, Dc says no conceal carry then that means no to Maryland as well...
So I guess this was what was keeping unemployment so high
