Businesses that allow Wear and Carry

[Franken7]

I've been searching the forums for several hours trying to find a list of businesses that allow Wear and Carry.

If such a over-all list does not exist, I'm looking specifically at hotels in the Middle River/Edgewood areas. Short of my driving to each hotel and looking for signs on the doors, does anyone know of a hotel allows Wear and Carry?

Thanks!

It is the other way round because the court enjoined that portion of the law. Signs must be posted prohibiting carry and even then have no force of law

Thank MSI for this

I only stay at hotels without metal detectors and guards posted out front.

There are how many 10's of thousands of businesses in MD, it would be impossible to have such a list.

CMC.

 

[swinokur]

And as pointed out, impossible to create and maintain, and for now, totally unnecessary

How many times does this need to be said?

I get it, but if you've already taken serious steps to ensure your safety by acquiring a CCP, exercise your God given rights. We pretty much know the no-go zones. Better to be judged by 12...

 

[swinokur]

Agreed

Thanks for the information. In fact, I'm a member of MSI. Biggfoot44 signed me up at a gun show in Chantilly back in February. So I live in New Jersey. The forum there, similar to this one, keeps a list of businesses that have signs posted. Whether the signs have the force of law doesn't matter. If the business owner has a sign posted, it really means they're interested in making money from just a segment of the population. At some point, we'll leave a card with the business stating " You have the right to prohibit firearms and I have the right to shop somewhere else". We are trying to get the business owner to change their mind and not alienate a large group of the population.

I was in South Carolina recently and their new law is basically constitutional carry BUT a business can post a sign and that sign carries the weight of law. We ate at a few restaurants that were all part of the same ownership group. One restaurant had a no gun sign and none of the others had one. In this case you'd have to check each location rather than the business entity. This business may have partial ownership with the operators and leave such site decisions up to them though. Hotels can be like that too though since many are franchises.
Concealed means concealed.

If a sign is posted on a door and someone opens the door for you so that you don't see the sign, then what?

Great points, all.

There are many reasons one could miss the signage. If they are to carry the weight of law, then there should be required means of posting. Unless it's glaring, like at hospitals, I tend not to notice. A door with all kinds of crap posted on it, gets ignored.

I see "no guns" zones as "free fire" zones.

There is no such list.

The current law ALLOWS you to carry a handgun with a permit with very few exceptions. Here's the list of PROHIBITED places (hotels are NOT prohibited).

Where are Firearms Prohibited?​

Restriction on the wear, carry and transport of handguns and firearms in certain places appear throughout Maryland law and regulations. Below are statutes and regulations detailing the handgun and firearm restrictions. This list should not be considered all-inclusive.
1. On school property (CR 4-102)

2. Within 1,000 feet of a demonstration in a public place after a law enforcement officer advises that a demonstration is occurring at the public place and orders the person to leave the demonstration area until the person disposes of the firearm (CR 4-208)

3. In legislative buildings (SG 2-1702)

4. Aboard aircraft (TR 5-1008)

5. In lodging establishments where the innkeeper reasonably believes individuals possess property that may be dangerous to other individuals, such as firearms or explosives (BR 15-203)

6. On dredge boats, other than two 10 gauge shotguns (NR 4-1013)

7. In or around State-owned public buildings and grounds (COMAR 04.05.01.03)

8. On Chesapeake Forest Lands (except for hunting and target shooting as permitted) (COMAR 08.01.07.14)

9. In State Forests (except for hunting and target shooting as permitted) (COMAR 08.07.01.04)

10. In State Parks (except for hunting and target shooting as permitted) (COMAR 08.07.06.04)

11. In State Highway Rest Areas, firearms may not be displayed or discharged (COMAR 11.04.07.12)

12. In community adult rehabilitation centers (COMAR 12.02.03.10)

13. In child care centers, except for small centers located in residences, firearms may not be kept on the premises (COMAR 13A.16.10.04)
