Good morning everyone,
I tried searching and I found threads that had similar information but was looking for a more direct question.
My wife will be visiting her parents in Maryland this week and will be traveling from south Georgia. She has a Georgia carry permit (which I know that MD does not recognize but all the states she will be passing through to get to MD do recognize it).
Due to the reasons of her travel, there is a chance that she may be staying there for an extended period of time (months possibly).
Additional information, the house she will be staying at has a room that is "hers", she does receive mail, etc there, a key to the house, etc.
For the purpose of her travel, does this count as a "bona fide residence" where she could stop before entering the state, unload the firearm, place it in a locked container in the hatch of her car and continue safely to the house, where she would remove the pistol from the car into the house where it would remain until she left the state or she officially moves to Maryland and registers the firearm?
The goal is I want her to have her carry pistol with her, loaded as normal, until such time as she can't (being in Maryland) and for her future return trip. If she cannot have the pistol at all in Maryland, then she would have to leave it here in Georgia.
