I live in Kent county. The small town of Millinton is very nice. It is ten miles from my home.
I have a “snake” pistol for protection. It fires a special 410 cal. Round that will remove a wooden door from ten feet. It can do that 5 times wtthout reloading. At night it looks an sounds like a volcano erupting .

I like my solution better - no LEO home invasions.
Serve the warrant by knocking on the door with your sidearm holstered.
I should remember the details because my dad's NG regiment was put on alert for riot control. Dad's battalion was nuclear-cleared and attached to ARADCOM and thus to SAC, so they got an exemption from the duty. But the unit was still put on lockdown which meant he didn't get home for a couple of days. I was a little kid but I recall the tension well.
If it’s still the same as 10 years ago, all handguns purchased in MD were “registered” by the fact that a spent shell casing provided by the manufacturer had to be sent to the state police, who keep it on file in the lost hope that it might identify the gun owner from casings found at a crime scene. I don’t believe that that has actually led to any convictions, but in any case, the state has a record of the purchase. A handgun purchaser must also have a certificate of training (which is what you were talking about), which is also kept on file with the state police, and which must be presented at the time of purchase.
Yup, pickups,gun racks, farmland and little fishing ports......I live just south of there in Eastern Shore Virginia.
you just shot the snake at your keyboard?
