I know this dead horse had been thoroughly beaten, but has Frosh commented or written on this? All I can find is Gansler's letter. I really want to start walking down Main St. With my 2 year old and my Winchester 94....maybe to get a coffee or some donuts. Thanks

Currently, there is no state law against long gun carry.
However, you need to research the local ordinances. There are 3 towns/cities with casing ordinances, that are grandfathered.

Without a doubt, unless it's hunting season. Expect LE interactions, if you are going to walk down the street with a loaded long gun. They will check to make sure, you have no malice or evil intentions.

Try Wisconsin Avenue in Bethesda, or Connecticut Avenue in Chevy Chase. I wouldn't suggest bringing your 2yo, being locked up with children only applies to illegals. Seriously though, why put your 2yo in the experience you may incur with LEO, I don't think it helps them. For the responses of BGOS on the way, prove me wrong and strap a pre Oct. 2013 AR-15 or HBAR on your back at the suggested locations, legal correct?
If you inadvertently muzzle sweep someone, you could very well be looking at a reckless endangerment charge at best.
First degree assault would be harder to prove, unless someone starts arguing with you on the street, while their friend is recording the interaction.

In central maryland you will get arrested, detained, and your gun confiscated. If you are with your 2yo, your kid may be taken to a foster home while they sort it out and search your house. Anywhere you are liable to need it, its illegal locally, like Baltimore City.
Don't expect Gansler or Frosh to come to your defense either. That "letter" was simply for show to give the appeals court some tiny fig leaf of cover.

People in other states or cities can walk in to Starbucks with an AR-15, then have a conversation with LEO. I just don't expect that to happen in Montgomery County that way. The places I mentioned, carrying an AR-15. My "speculation" would be being met with a dozen cops , guns drawn on you shouting orders of how to disarm. Once that is done, the crawling away from the weapon a bit, then face down and cops quickly planting knees in your back and getting cuffed. They'd find something to charge you with. IANAL, but have heard some states can charge 2nd degree assault on grounds of "intent to frighten". Now that would be adjudicated in court, but the charge and arrest would still happen. Get a good attorney.

You may escape a conviction, but I still think there are better ways to see the back seat of a police car.

Just frustrated with this state. Wish there was something we could do....some way to change g&s without waiting for years and praying the SCOTUS picks it up. I wouldn't be the first to try this, but I would join in if a lot decided to try to educate the people and LE. It can't be a demonstration, but a trip to the store should be fine.

In the past, I've toyed with the idea of slinging a long gun to my back while riding my motorcycle to the AGC range in Marriottsville.
I don't think I'd make it too far... SOMEONE is going to call 911 on me and I'm sure that I'll be pulled over on the highways somewhere between my home and the range.
So I just case them and take my truck instead. Maybe one day I'll experiment with a cased gun strapped to my bike...

Why not practice on the way?

Open carry of long arms as a protest of the absurdity of concealed carry laws or as a method of accustoming the general public to the safe and lawful presence of firearms is a controversial tactic. There is still some debate over the effectiveness of the efforts of groups such as Open Carry Texas in the eventual lifting of restrictions on open carry of pistols. If a less than friendly interaction with law enforcement happens in a relatively gun friendly state such as Texas, it is almost a certainty you will be taking a ride in the PRM. It is a sad state of affairs when a perfectly legal activity results in a new pair of shiny bracelets and reputation smearing by the pearl clutching press.
Long arm of the law will check you out and possibly more , a cavity search in lock up . They will try to hit you with something reckless endangerment of a minor .
Make sure to take a brace of pit bulls along for the stroll...

Try walking around with an empty holster first, a big cowboy one with "bullets" in the belt, and see how much attention you get from that.
You will not advance G&S or 2A rights in MD.
It will be considered a stunt and get you more trouble than it’s worth.

Yes, the G&S business is nonsense. But the people who believe it's appropriate and vote for those who perpetuate it ARE NEVER GOING TO CHANGE THEIR MINDS once they've had a guy and his kid walk past them at the Frederick IHOB with a rifle slung over his shoulder. That will just push the crazies even farther into the belief that Maryland's restrictions are the only thing keeping them safe from Eeeeeeevil gun toters. Do not feed that monster with a theatrical stunt that will only prove them right in their own low-information minds.
Opening for the press to label all gun owners nuts and only give the other side points against us as a group. I get the frustration though. I’ve had some wild thoughts, but I know it’s not going to change 40-50 years of gun rights oppression...it takes a long time to undo.
