Jackson: Gun owner unarmed, unwelcome in Maryland

As a former LEO...no, not all of them.

[M Kehoe]

Unfortunately, Mr. Filippidis didn't get the name of the officer.

In the future John, and anyone else reading this, get their name. It will lead to the head of the chain of command.

Then it will be necessary to put the officer and their family in jeopardy. Sad that it has come to this.

There is no good reason to go to that state.

Exactly. We never go to the Western Socialist states (Ca, Wa, Or) or East of the Mississippi .... nothing good ever happens in those places!

[deoetdoctrinae]

I noticed that too. Pretty sure they left a ~zero~ off the caliber, lol.

[vetvetdoug]

His first mistake was traveling within a state where the Democrats and Communists rule. I stay clear of liberal bastions. NY, MD, CT, NJ, NH, D.C., RI, MA, and IL can all take a flying leap. Don't go there or spend my money there. If there is a professional convention scheduled in one of those states, I just don't go.

I wouldn’t quite yet say ‘all’, but with each passing day you’re getting closer and closer to the ballpark’s main entrance.

WHY does the state of Florida even let the permits holder info leave the state lines ???

Florida is partially at fault for providing such info when there is no Florida law being broken.

[ThunderSleeps]

Secondly file a complaint against the officer, actually all the officers involved. Contact a lawyer re possibility of suing department over u unlawful detention and civil rights violations. Also look into going after initiating officer personally.

[38special]

What about California, Colorado and Virginia? Nice places to visit but I wouldn’t want to live there.

[TurboZamboni]

If it were a rifle, could have been a .338 Laberdoodle.

EDUCATE YOUR WIFE!!!

Tell her YOU DON’T SPECULATE WITH LAW ENFORCEMENT!!!!!

Yes,
No,
I don’t know.

THAT IS ALL!!!!!

[RC one]

Just never return to Maryland and certainly never spend another dime in that shiitehole.

[Ken H]

Add Texas to the list. They have been known to do body cavity searches on public highways. New Mexico as well.

(Thanks, drug warriors)

>> WHY does the state of Florida even let the permits holder info leave the state lines ??? <<

I think that info is typically tied to your driver’s license. It might be time to think about changing that.

[MeshugeMikey]

Amen!

[Carriage Hill]

Add in NY, NJ, IL, DE, CT, MA... I’m sure I missed a few blue hellholes.

[meatloaf]

I’m been stopped in NJ and NY with WV plates. Usually the first words out of their mouths is, “Do you have a firearm?” I always answer them truthfully. “No!”

Since when have states been making CCW info available to other jurisdictions. Sounds like maybe Florida needs to be sued too. The cop needs that so-called probable cause shoved up their ass.

[G Larry]

Nice to live in a county where the sheriff doesn’t share his CCW files with ANYBODY.

The few times I’ve been traffic stopped, I’ve NEVER been asked if I’m packing.

Before we were married, wife got CCW in next county. She gets asked when she’s stopped.

[ottbmare]

His wife should have gotten a ticket and fine for sheer stupidity—for talking too much, for being frightened of a gun, and for thinking she might shoot herself through the foot. What an idiot.

[VeniVidiVici]

In FL, if u have a ccw it does not come up during a tag check
