Dammit I hit send too soon ha. As a MD resident... We can only transport a gun if we're going to the range or a shop etc... Legally. So if I were to go to PA for the day and I wanted to carry (having a Utah permit) wouldn't the drive from MD to PA be illegal since I'm not going to the range or a place to use the gun? Id be driving it "just because". Of course you could always say you were going to the range but still.. Just curious about the fine print.
Worst case scenario if you had to use your weapon when in PA... As a MD resident you could get nailed for the illegal transport in the first
Place?
No. The restriction in MD about directly to and from the approved places is MD law for INTRASTATE travel. For INTERSTATE travel, the FOPA is the Federal law that covers your legal transport.
