Truck gun with permit

[Frostadams]

I can’t seem to find a straight answer on this so I’ll ask here. Does the wear and carry permit only apply to handguns specifically? Can I keep a rifle or shotgun in my truck? I know the wear and carry permit extends to weapons such as switchblades. I can’t find anything specifically stating I can’t keep a loaded shotgun or rifle in my truck or in a bag. I’ve tried sifting through the Maryland laws and can’t find anything.

I don’t see an issue except that you can’t leave it there and im
Pretty sure walking around with it would be frowned upon. So I’m not sure what your goal is.

Num-chuks??

Are they serious...

The DNR statute 10-410c prohibits a loaded long gun in a vehicle. Some say it does not apply if not hunting but the fact that the AG mentioned it in the loaded long gun OC opinion tends to make me think otherwise.

The AG opinion said the loaded long gun OC is legal. That’s why we didn’t need carry permits.

Now we have both. Who’s laughing now?

Md. CRIMINAL LAW Code Ann. § 4-101​

Says that the following weapons are prohibited unless a person has a permit to carry.

dirk knife, bowie knife, switchblade knife, star knife, sandclub, metal knuckles, razor, and nunchaku

So these are all fair game with your wear and carry permit.




did I read this correctly

metal knuckes AKA brass knuckles are legal to carry in MD with WC permit ?

 

[swinokur]

Yes you did.

OP- unless i missed someone else mentioning it already- if your truck gun is an AR Pistol, your w&c covers it - as it is indeed, legally a handgun.

Yes .

Albeit , a blackjack/ slapjack is a better defensive tool .

Where did you get that?
I like it for hunting.
Looks like a soft case will fit in the sleeve?

You can legally build a lower into a handgun.
A loaded handgun is covered by your wear and carry.

Decide for yourself whether or not it would be worth the trouble in the event an officer wanted to debate you on this, but according to the law you'd be within your rights.

If you don't carry with one in the chamber, why carry at all?

[QUOTE="cyberalex, post: 6809271,, I wanted to point out the last fact you mentioned about not having a long gun in plain sight.

I is it * Legal * to have long guns in plain sight in your gun rack , propped in passenger seat, etc ( excluding Balt City , MoCo , and Leonardtown ) ? Yes

*Most of the time * is it Wise & Prudent out & about in normal populated areas ? Probably not , even just for the theft risk .
On your farm , driving to your hunting spot , etc , use your personal judgement , as to the Wisdom of doing that actually Legal method .

[ Yeah , yeah BGOS is rampant in lots of ways . This particular instance , more discresion than required by law , may indeed often be * Wise * .

This reminds me , I meant to start a thread on this a cpl weeks ago . but I blinked and got distracted .]

Leanardtown?
