injunction junction what's your function?

 

[pleasant1911]

Watched a video stating, basically it’s illegal to carry in Maryland. Is it true?

 

[swinokur]

No. The portion of the law pertaining to permission signs, carrying in places serving alcohol and carrying at demonstrations is under TRO from the court so not enforceable until decided.

OMG the "...and I pretty much just happen" line is hilarious and so true

There was an incident reported on Eastern Shore Undercover in the past week that would be on point with the new law. Police were called to the mall in Salisbury for a report of a male openly carrying a firearm on his hip. Further follow up reporting said the police made contact and detained the individual but nothing beyond that. No idea if the person had a valid W&C permit or if he was eventually arrested or cited.

Nobody can be arrested for violating SB-1. That's not an actual criminal statute.

If arrested and charged, a person could be arraigned for violating this:

Looks like Cali got an injunction on their version of this unconstitutional law aka SB2:

 

[jrumann59]

Right after the law went into effect I went to a restaurant that did not have bar area and had no idea it served alcohol until I got the menu. I didn't sweat it I was not the only one carrying another gentleman was and his pistol was printing bad in his sweathshirt every time he moved.

4-111(e)- A person may not wear, carry, or transport a firearm in a special purpose area.

4-111 (b) This section does not apply to:

(11) a firearm that is carried or transported in a motor vehicle if the firearm is:

(i) locked in a container; or

(ii) a handgun worn, carried, or transported in compliance with any limitations imposed under § 5-307 of the Public Safety Article, by a person to whom a permit to wear, carry, or transport the handgun has been issued under Title 5, Subtitle 3 of the Public Safety Article.

Once again, I feel like they've created more laws which are as clear as mud.

It used to be we could transport a firearm if it was in a case, and the case didn't have to be locked. Is this new law saying that it only has to be in a locked case if you are in one of the defined special purpose areas? If I'm not going through a special purpose area, can I still transport my long guns and handguns in an unlocked case?

And this sounds like with my wear and carry permit, I can have a handgun unlocked worn or carried on my person when transporting through a special purpose area, but long guns or handguns that are not being worn or carried on my person have to be locked up? So I could drive through the parking lot of a medical facility or school with my permit and wearing a handgun, or a long gun locked in a case, and as long as I didn't get out of the car, I'd be OK?

Yes.

Yes

Yes

but long guns or handguns that are not being worn or carried on my person have to be locked up?

If you are transporting them through the above listed locations, yes.

So I could drive through the parking lot of a medical facility

Parking lot of a medical facility is NOT affected by SB

or school

School property has always been off limits even with a carry permit per state statute.

with my permit and wearing a handgun, or a long gun locked in a case, and as long as I didn't get out of the car, I'd be OK?

There is no 100 yard, 100 foot, 10 foot, 1 foot radius in State Statute, and the locations do not include adjoining parking lots in any of the listed locations.
