Well, almost none . There are a handful of retired/former LE who didn't fit under the fine print of LEOSA .
If you are caught carrying some how, not doing anything illegal, is this considered a felony? I know a few people who carry without a permit saying self defense is more important than any charges they may get.
Seriously? Carrying without a permit IS illegal. You’ll be hosed.

No, all you have to do is commit a crime while carrying illegally. They'll drop the gun charge for you to admit your guilt on the other crime. Then they will give you time served, pat you on the behind and send you out to play with your friends.
You must be a gang member associated with that which actually runs the city, for this to take place. A law abiding citizen will have the book thrown at them and will serve 15 extra years for illegally carrying a firearm.
Truth.
If you are an otherwise law abiding, tax-paying, and contributing member of society and you are caught carrying without a permit, or even with a permit outside of your carry restrictions, they will CRUCIFY YOU!! You will be made an example to all others. There will be no leniency. There will be no bargaining. You will get the maximum sentence allowable by law, and maybe a few years extra just because.
So it must be a felony then, I wasn't sure but always wondered. Certainly not worth the risk to me but it's all b.s., we are left defenseless against a growing number of threats!

Unless they’re offering a money back guarantee if you don’t get it, I call bs
No, doesn't have to be a felony to be a prohibitor. Might as well be though, as far as 2A goes, you loose the right - basically the only right you now can permenantly loose, now that reformed felons get the rest of their rights "restored"
It is not a felony but a misdemeanor. HOWEVER, in MD that misdemeanor will now make you a prohibited person for life.

It's not a felony, it's a misdemeanor. However, the sentencing guidelines for that misdemeanor now mean that it's a prohibiting crime (i.e. you loose your gun rights for life).

It's a three year misdemeanor. The 3yr potential sentence makes you a Prohibited Person under Federal law .
I was in Free America today, delivering some Christmas presents to neighbors in the Mountain State. I woke one of our WV neighbors up from a nap when I knocked on his door. He saw it was me and opened the door while still half putting on his pants. He had a 9mm holstered on his belt, and I asked him if he was enjoying Constitutional Carry. He said he definitely was and now carries everywhere. I told him that I carried while at our WV cabin but how much I wish I could do that at home. He asked me a semi serious question then and said "what would happen if I just forgot I was carrying and wound up over the state line in MD"? Without missing a beat I said they will throw you in jail without thinking twice about it and you would loose your gun rights permanently.
"Even if was an honest mistake?"
To which I laughed and recommended that he stay on the west side of the boarder.
