    Ok, so can anyone explain the legal unlisc'd open carry prior to 1972, and why they had to add it to the may-issue permitting process? Criminals don't open carry, right? So was it the Black Panthers in MD doing it and the racist ways of the time said "OMG uppity black people are open carrying and we can't do anything about it!"? Were the BP committing serious crimes while OCing? Wouldn't this then be blatant racism and not jive with current times ( today)?

    2nd thing- my understanding is MD had a 2A clause in the state constitution until some time after the Civil War ended. If this is true, what year did they remove it, and did it coincide with the passing of Jim Crow laws? If this is the case, we have yet another racist doing, and blatant as can be. This also does not jive with current times. Can any of this blatant racism as a reason for may-issue practice be used in a court case challenge?[/QUOTE]

    I'm pretty sure it's been cited in many cases yet the judges who rule against us never mention it.
    As far as the Black Panthers go you should check out the Nichols open carry case in CA, it's primarily based on the 1967 OC ban right after the BP protests(implying a race based law), as well as the 2A. It's actually in the 9th Circuit right now.

    just thinking backwards this week, wondering if a person with pepper spray could be convicted of carrying with criminal intent if they were unable to provide bank transactions, a business license, 3 references, and evidence of assumed risk
