The source website gives a tremendous amount of information on the other states, which I find to be a great guideline for those of us who do a lot of traveling...
MD is a “may issue” state,which has made it “somewhat” amiable, if you press the issue, to carry in that state...But it’s up to those who want to jump through those flaming hoops...
there is some more study to be done, but I do not see anything yet that says you can’t keep a loaded firearm in your home, which was almost a conerstone issue with Heller in D.C., if I recall correctly...
Like I said, MD is not a total ogre as far as I can tell when it comes to being whre D.C./Heller wanted to get to...That’s all I was saying...
There are many states where we have it good, but there is always room to improve...Even here in Texas...
Here is what I found on a “firearms” search on the MD Atty generals website...
Yes, a lot of registration issues, types of weapons, but I didn’t immediately see anything restricting posession of a firearm on ones private property (home) for lawful, self-defensive purposes...
Maybe we can find something that knocks that out of the ballpark...
And yes, I did see all the AWB, and other transportation restrictions there as well...but like Isaid, I don’t see anything that says you can’t have one ready to go in the home...
Again I must disagree. In a may issue state, no matter how many hoops you jump through it is up to the police to determine if you get one or not, and I can assure you that no one I know in MD has been able to obtain one.
but I do not see anything yet that says you can’t keep a loaded firearm in your home,
True, but I don't consider this basic minimum as "gun friendly" I take multiple criteria, most of which you listed as determining if a state is anti-gun or not, and I consider Md to be anti-gun on a par with NY, NJ, etc.
