Your speculative abilities are amazing.

And yet you have still to explain how the MD cops could have known about that *specific* Kel-Tec. They couldn’t know from Florida.

“I’ve got mixed emotions about that.
I believe the bill of rights placed restrictions on the feds
and the ugly 14th amendment “incorporated” them unto the states.

I wonder to myself; to myself, I wonder...
How come South Carolina recognizes my Georgia driver’s license
but they don’t recognize my Georgia concealed carry permit?
Why is that, I wonder to myself.”

Well, for starters, a driver’s license is a “privilege,” and a CCW should be a “right” but the states don’t see it that way, and they will continue to do so until the SCOTUS ( you know that compilation of assorted turds and turdettes that pass for the stewards of our Constitution) finally come back from their manifold vacations and “interpret” the Second Amendment.
As far as your “mixed emotions” are concerned, I share them. But the 2A should not continue to be abused by the Blue States, so I was just postulating that the 2A should be given special legislation to put a “floor” under what any state can require as regards the use and carrying of firearms. I certainly would not want to see a Federal law that preempted a state like Arizona which has embraced Constitutional Carry, but I would like to see a law that stops my state (California) from denying recognition of all other states CCW laws, and beyond that assure our citizens who wish to carry a gun for protection, the unfettered means to do so.

I have heard that when a cop runs a license plate number, the screen will tell them if the vehicle’s owner has a concealed carry permit.

In the article the cop spokesman claims the MDTA does not have access to those data bases threw their plate scanner. That of course does not mean they do not have that information available by other means.

maybe it’s time for an all encompassing federal law that preempts all State CCW laws and institutes a National Right to Carry Statute that places restraints on what States can do to restrict the carrying of weapons whiletraveling.

I agree, something that specifically says the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.

“...the 2A should be given special legislation

-
How does that come to pass?
By amendment?
I am a big fan of an article V convention.

You obviously did not take the Journalism School elective on firearms recognition.

There are guns that only exist in the minds of reporters. E.G., Automatic 50 MM Revolvers, The Semi-Automatic Palm-Sized Kel-Tec .38, Rifles used in duck hunting, etc. etc.

Now Kel-Tec is very much on the Leftist Weapon Shiite List. That's because a 'Deadly Kel-tec Automatic Assault Pistol' was used to wantonly kill Trayvon Martin in Sanford, FL, who, as you know, was delivering meals on wheels to elderly shut-ins after Bible Study. Tragic. Could have been a son of Obama.

We've gone to a festival in Springs,PA for the last 45 yrs. Crafts, maple sugar, bluegrass music and actual Amish.

We live in SW PA but briefly have to enter Western MD on Rt 40 till we hit Grantsville and turn north.

I had to remind Dad that if we got stopped by the police and they asked if we had firearms he was to lie and say no.

He is a devout Catholic and a disabled Vet.

He sarcastically asked if MD was part of America.
