It wasn’t the guns or the ammo that was the problem so much as the registered, and thus legal,”assault” rifle he had.
He claims that he was unaware of the law on such firearms that states that they may only be transported to and from a legal activity, i.e. to and from the range. However, it isn’t legal to do so when the range is one of several stops on the trip. It is arguable that the law is obscure, vague, and thus unknowable. As such, it would be unconstitutional. Also, IIRC, the State includes a whole laundry list of warnings about what isn’t legal to do with one’s registered “assault” rifle along with the registration documents. Excluding that one activity, transporting the rifle, implies permission to do so.
Of course, he might have had less trouble had he also been carrying a copy of the Koran, but I digress.
He's not allowed to cruise around with this weapon according to the laws.
Although the weapon was legal, he can only go to and from a range,
Not the airport. This guy screwed up and challenged the laws he already knew.
There is a gun store in PG county, MD. They primarily sell shotguns and single shot rifles. The police have upon occasion staked out the store and followed people who purchased guns. If they stopped at 7-11 to get a cup of coffee they were in violation of the gun laws. Their shotguns or whatever were confiscated.
I imagine they lost their right to vote and could not participate in scouts with their kids etc. Does this remind anyone of NAZI Germany, or other liberal countries.
