‘YOU DID WHAT?’: POLICE AMAZED AT WOMAN WHO TOOK MATTERS INTO HER OWN HANDS AFTER HER CAR WAS STOLEN

A Massachusetts woman who refused to be a victim after her car was stolen decided to take matters into her own hands.

Lisa Paulson said she noticed her car was missing Tuesday morning and immediately reported it to the police, WFXT-TV in Boston reported. However, she was told by authorities that not much could be done until the car resurfaced.

“I was really frustrated it was like, ‘OK, either it will turn up or it won’t,” Paulson said

I have a question for any MD resident.
Concealed carry is against the law without a permit.
How about "open carry" as we know it in MD.
I have spoken to two FBI agents and each have said open carry is OK. However one of them has backed down and said he really doesn't know.
On the other hand , the sheriffs dept. has said it is against the law , but could not quote the law.
What's up with that?

You go ahead and open carry in the police state of MD, you'll be shot 15 times before you can make it out of your driveway. Just carry concealed, no permit and don't tell anyone.

It is unlawful for any person without a permit to wear or carry a handgun, openly or concealed, upon or about his person. It is also unlawful for any person to knowingly transport a handgun in any vehicle traveling on public roads, highways, waterways or airways, or upon roads or parking lots generally used by the public. This does not apply to any person wearing, carrying or transporting a handgun within the confines of real estate owned or leased by him, or on which he resides, or within the confines of a business establishment owned or leased by him.

Rifles and shotguns being transported in motor vehicles must be unloaded.

A person may transport a handgun if they can demonstrate that the handgun is being carried, worn or transported:

To or from a place of legal purchase or sale, or repair shop;
Between a person’s bona fide residences, or between his residence and place of business, if the business is operated and substantially owned by that person;
While engaged in, or traveling to and from a target shoot, formal or informal target practice, sport shooting event, hunting, trapping, or dog obedience training class or show; or
By a bona fide gun collector who is moving any part or all of his gun collection from place to place for public or private exhibition.

During transportation to and from the above places the handgun must be unloaded and carried in an enclosed case or enclosed holster. An additional penalty is provided for any person convicted of unlawfully wearing, carrying or transporting a handgun, if his deliberate purpose was to injure or kill another person.

5:06 even if it was ok to "open" carry in MD I would be reluctant to do so. Because our laws are so screwed up all anyone has to do is point you out and claim you threatened them with your gun. Next thing you know you will be arrested. Whereas if it were concealed the chances of that happening would be less likely.
