law and recommendations can be interpreted as one in the same. it is recommended the gun be the furthest point from the driver and the magazine empty. what the law stipulates can possibly make your traffic stop a fatal one or at the least, a confiscation from an uninformed trooper or LEO. (legally speaking) as ambitious as it gets in this state, always play it safe to the umth degree.
Been a cop almost twenty years. Pistol always in plain view right next to me at the console, under my leg, etc... never been shot by a cop on a traffic stop yet when he saw my gun. And before I tell them I'm a cop.
You make it sound like all cops draw and shoot immediately.
I am planning to try and become a cop next year. Wish me luck.
I do wish you luck. It's tough to get in nowadays. It's very rewarding to help those who need help when you're called.
Lotsa good posts here
1. You likely have a duty to retreat
2. Once you load up, you are now carrying without a permit and will likely be charged as such
3. Once you discharge, you will likely be charged for that too (you're on a road, right?)
If your life is truly on the line maybe all that is worth it.
Way too many ifs here. It's probably a loosing proposition.
IANAL
Just don't have a dog sitting next to you. Never can tell what reaction that will bring from an LEO.Been a cop almost twenty years.

That's why she sits in the back, to draw fire
Only takes two second to stick a mag in.Maryland has no stand your ground law outside the home, so you would have a duty to retreat.
Hypothetically, if you were cornered, maybe, but then again I don't think your allowed to transport the gun loaded, so someone might ask why you didn't use the time you spent loading the gun to retreat.
