    I was watching a video about hurricane preparation and the presenter mentioned that some states waive concealed carry restrictions when there is a state of emergency. I am probably foolish for asking but is there such a thing in Maryland?

    I'm sure you're being foolish...no insult intended. There's no way Maryland would do something like that. I would be very (and pleasantly) shocked if that were the case. The last thing on the minds of Maryland government officials is to allow any more freedom than they can get away with.

    Are you practicing for the Maryland General Assembly STAND UP comedy routine this year?

    Didn't North Carolina and some other states use to SUSPEND concealed carry during declared emergencies?

    Seems they only changed that within the past ten years.

    Similar mindset to the notorious door to door confiscations following Katrina: "During a State of Emergency, there is an extraordinary need for Government to exert extraordinary control over the subject population, by suspending civil liberties."

    If by "No such thing" you mean civil rights, you're absolutely correct. You have the right to pay taxes and do what you're told. Period.

    Don’t suggest this to a politician, MD would likey do exactly the opposite and suspend all use and carry of firearms during a state of emergency.

    To the contrary - MD has a law on the books that gives the governor authority to prohibit all transportation of firearms during declared states of emergency.

    During Katrina the authorities began to move through neighborhoods and confiscate LEGALLY OWNED firearms for "the public safety". Many of which were never repatriated with their owners after the crisis passed.

    PROTIP: If it floods, you lost your firearms in a flooding accident. Your rights will never be extended in a crisis, only restricted as the government seeks to regain control.

    Maryland socialist would love to have a declared disaster like Katrina and they would use the Guard to go house to house for all weapons you have on your 4473. Which the state government has a record of.

    The state has no record of what's on a FEDERAL 4473. Those records are retained by the FFL available for FEDERAL inspection. The state would have a record of firearms on a 77r. But non regulated firearms and regulated firearms brought into the state before 10-1-2013 would not be in any state database.

    Time for an Opinion Letter? ...sarcasm, MD is better armed with regulations than its populace is in regards to the meaning of the Second .... or maybe best to let them think that.

    I do remember one time in the past, I forget what hurricane it was, where Hogan allowed people of Del who had CCW permits to be good in the counties that were right next to the state of DE. He allowed the people of Del to carry in MD for up to 72hrs on their permits..
