    Nod. Aware of the other lawful purpose language. To my knowledge it would be new territory if one were to claim it allows lawful self defense in fed. Court. I'm intrigued about your case. Can you post the case cite?

    in an earlier post, someone stated that since MD prohibits carry in State Parks, National Parks are also banned. Can someone explain how a ban in State Parks also bans carry in a National Park? The MD statute doesn't address it. IMO if it's not specifically banned, it's allowed.

    wouldn't an unrestricted W&C permit be legal?

    I'd appreciate other's opinions on this.

    I'm at a loss how that can be asserted if the code specifies it applies to state parks. I haven't looked. There is the canons of construction and plain language rules to look to.

    Commonwealth v. Goslin, 156 A.3d 314 (Pa. Super. Ct. 2017). A copy of the decision should be linked in the text of my blog article on it, which I had linked in my prior post

    My opinion, national park carry in Maryland is legal with a W&C within ones restrictions if any. Don't do so without conducting your own research. IANAL
