That may help if you are stopped by the right county deputy sheriff, but it will be no help at all with MD State Police.chasfm11 wrote:Some parts of MD are more gun friendly than others. Apparently the Western part of MD is as unhappy with the State government and its policies as the rest of us are and there is at least a movement for it to secede from the rest of the State. The Eastern Shore is redneck heaven and most of us would fit right in with the people there.

Re: MD - Valid Concern?
Illinois now allows out of state CHL's to have a loaded handgun in the car with them. You cannot take the loaded gun out of the car, so I wouldn't stop for fuel and a meal. But driving armed across Illinois is now legal since they implemented the Illinois concealed carry law.2farnorth wrote:If Illinois becomes more gun friendly....
Since I would not risk a felony based on the unsubstantiated advice of someone on an internet forum, here is the law posted by the Illinois State Police: https://www.ccl4illinois.com/ccw/Public ... heAct.aspx" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; It is on the page under 430 ILCS 66/40m Sec. 40 (e).
(e) Nothing in this Act shall prohibit a non-resident from transporting a concealed firearm within his or her vehicle in Illinois, if the concealed firearm remains within his or her vehicle and the non-resident:
(1) is not prohibited from owning or possessing a firearm under federal law;
(2) is eligible to carry a firearm in public under the laws of his or her state or territory of residence, as evidenced by the possession of a concealed carry license or permit issued by his or her state of residence, if applicable; and
(3) is not in possession of a license under this Act.
If the non-resident leaves his or her vehicle unattended, he or she shall store the firearm within a locked vehicle or locked container within the vehicle in accordance with subsection (b) of Section 65 of this Act.

Re: MD - Valid Concern?
I lived in that part of Maryland for a few years, many years ago. My disgust for the political climate found me gaining employment elsewhere. Absolutely, I would be super careful to follow every traffic law, including the speed limit, since it is only a 15 mile stretch. After all, traveling 85 mph instead of 65 mph saves 13 seconds per mile, or just over 3 minutes for 15 miles. It simply it not worth giving those {inappropriate language} any excuse for a traffic stop.
And if one is stopped anyway, I'd have my spouse video the encounter while the voice recorder in my pocket was running. When asked, I would state that I do not consent to a search but will comply with lawful orders.
That is the best that I can do. Other than that, we are at the mercy of roadside tyranny.
