    The whole system is a festering pile of mule chit , I am so confused on how Maryland and our State Police can keep the smell contained they keep piling more dung on top of the existing dung .

    All this and I already have a permit , I can't imagine the people fighting just to get the first one .

    No they dont! If this were true, any resident of Baltimore could get a permit to protect their wallet after work.
    Sorry not that simple. Just protecting your wallet does not suffice. Owning a business and possessing large sums of cash or expensive merchandise tends to make you much more of a target than just carrying a wallet. The only way you are going to beat a charge of using deadly force is by actually defending yourself against great bodily harm from someone that is endangering your life. Someone in your driveway attempting to steal your car is not putting your life in danger.

    No it does not. I see youve swallowed the Kool Aide.

    If you have 2 legs and a cellphone, you are a targethttp://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/bs-md-ci-bike-robberies-20171024-story.html

    The 16 year old girl I know who was jumped by Columnia Mall ...pretty sure she did ot own a business.

    If you are doing it right, no one has any idea whats in the backpack. Now, if you walk around with 100 bills taped to your forehead, sure.

    I'd agree with you in most other states, but I'm not sure that you're going to convince the MDSP that having two legs and a cell phone is G&S.

    Hi folks...I can't believe this hasn't been asked, so point me to the thread if there's one already that you know of. I did a little searching and didn't see one.

    Question: What are some "unconventional" CCW applicaiton strategies that folks have used to obtain one in MD? Feel free to message me if you don't want to share publicly.

    I've read a bit about it, and MD sounds at least as restrictive as CA (where I just moved from). I don't own a business, don't do security, don't carry diamonds every day, etc. Have "I work/live in a dangerous area" arguments worked?

    Just learned a couple of weeks ago that MD permits are pretty restrictive even if you get them, in that they only permit you to carry in the specific area or while doing the specific work you say you need the permit for. So if you're a process server, you can carry while doing that work, but not otherwise.

    Are law enforcement allowed to carry when off-duty? Or do they need a separate permit for that? When we lived in Los Angeles, I was looking into the LAPD reserves corp, and found out that one benefit was making it easier to get a concealed carry.

    Thanks for any thoughts or experiences you can share!

    Not the best strategy to blast ideas in "public". We have journalist and straight up antis lurking here. MOMs and MPGV are all over this board.
