I carry a Glock every day, but going from PA to MD dictates that I must leave the Glock at home. I will be heading to the bay to get on a sailboat and spend 6 days in the MD bay shore towns and sleeping on the boat docked at various places. We are coming in to the Baltimor region to board the boat and will travel to Annapolis and further South over the 6 days while stopping each evening to eat at a resturaunt and then back to the boat to drink and party. It is a man's week out kind of thing.
First off, like normal in life.... no trouble is expected or desired from thugs or thieves. I do not carry because I expect anything, I carry because you never know what you can expect.
My thought is that since I understand that even you folks living there can not have a pistol, can I carry my AR-15/M4 Carbine ON THE BOAT ONLY for protection from any one that may wish to illegally board during the night? It would be out of sight and only to be commissioned for service should things go bad in monumental proportions.
I was (and still am) very seriously consider de-pinning the upper from the lower and bringing 3 loaded mags and stuffing this into my backpack with my clothes. That way I could slam the upper/lower together and smack the pins to lock it together in just 30 seconds or so and drive a mag home if needed.
What is MD's opinion on rifles and non residents having them for self defense since we can not bring our trusty pistols? I am thinking I will be good to go with the M4....?
Better to be tried by 12 than carried by 6!
BTW: I love PA! Open carry frendly for the most part (Jack Noble got some shit ) and there are more AR/M4 rifles in PA than there are teeth! 38 years in Western PA, and no plans to ever move away.
