I currently live in NC, and have a CC permit there. I know it does me no good in MD (even though all the surrounding states recognize it--VA, WV, PA). But I'll be visiting family in Onley MD this weekend (and probably a LOT more frequently in the future--we've got a new Grand-daughter on the way any day now...), and I am a little unclear on the law for transporting into and/or through MD.
Anyway, I'm pretty familiar with MD laws, since I lived in NoVa for about 15 years in the '80s and '90s, and worked in MD most of that time, but I'm not sure where I stand for transporting through MD if I stop for a night or two...
So here's my question...
I want to bring my Para Ordnance S-14.45 on my next trip. I know that I can wear it in the car in NC and VA because I have a valid NC CHP. I also know that if I lock it up in a locked box in the trunk, unloaded, I can TRAVERSE the state of MD. But what if I'm going to stop in MD and stay for a few nights? I also plan on driving out to the Eastern Panhandle of WV while I'm up there, and my NC CHP is ALSO recognized in WV, so I'm golden there too. But what about the day or two I'm going to be in MD. Can I transport it there, take it form the car into my stepdaughter's house, and leave it there while we go about our business in MD, and be within the bounds of MD law? Or is the "MD Transport exception" only if you are merely traversing MD, and not stopping?
Hopefully someone here can set me straight. Or do you recommend I just call the MD AG's office and get the "straight scoop"?...
Thanks in advance.
