"other" deadly weapons with W&C permit

[bigcountry]

I have had police say the W&C only covers an approved handgun to be carried concealed or open. Not switchblades, not butterfly knives, etc. But I have seen some W&C instructors say different. Only thing I can find online covers stun guns or tasers with a permit.

You can now carry a dirk.

There are threads here such as

AUTOMATICS LEGAL WITH WEAR & CARRY ?

Just wondering if anyone knows if it’s legal to carry automatics, OTF, neck knives, etc. in Maryland if you have a wear & carry permit? Thank you.

Automatic is a common term for a switchblade.

I forget where exactly, but the carry permit allows you to carry the "deadly weapons" that you mentioned. I do not know about tasers or stun guns.
