Hey
Check out the Daily times today - Illegal guns.
If you do have that permit, you’re allowed to drive from home to work with a firearm in your car, just as long as the weapon is unloaded, and the ammunition is separated from the gun. wrong !!!!
For instance, should a police officer find a gun — either a handgun or a long gun — somewhere in a car during a traffic stop, “that’s a crime right there,” he said, unless that person has a permit from the state to carry the gun. Wrong !!!!!!! Long guns can be carried if cased and unloaded for legal purposes (Hunting,target shooting,etc)
VERY misleading !!!!!!
Yes -get the thugs off the streets and get the facts right !
I remember as a kid people would have gun racks in their pickup trucks mounted over the rear window.
ReplyDeleteIs that illegal now?
Nope, not illegal at all!

ReplyDeleteFrom www.gunlawguide.com/Maryland.htm
All Persons: Rifles and shotguns may be transported in a vehicle for any reason.
But, due to Maryland's conservation/hunting laws, the weapons must be unloaded and
secured in commercial cases or gun racks regardless of whether one has a permit.
Maryland's preemption statute provides uniformity for most gun laws
throughout the state. But localities may still regulate the discharge of firearms
within their limits and the carry of firearms within 100 yards of schools, parks,
churches, public buildings, and places of public assembly. A recently enacted self-
defense law provides homeowners with civil immunity from damages sustained by
unlawful intruders against whom the homeowner employs deadly force.
So, yeah! Let's get out those Easy Rider Rifle Racks and use them! I'd put it out of sight if parking somewhere to leave it unattended, though. You would just be asking for a break in these days.
If we live in the city, how are we supposed to target practice? Set up shop in the house?
ReplyDeletePersons without Maryland permits: A traveler without a Maryland permit may not carry a handgun on foot or in a vehicle in a loaded or readily accessible manner. But he may transport an unloaded handgun in a secure case if he is traveling to a recognized shooting competition, bonafide gun show, hunting exercise, or some other gun-related event. Magazines may remain loaded
ReplyDeletewhile in a vehicle as long they are not attached to, or inserted into, any handgun. Travelers passing through the state may transport inaccessible handguns even if they
are not traveling to one of these events as long as the weapons are unloaded, cased and, either stowed in the trunk, or locked in a case if the vehicle has no trunk.
