Yea I go over the Wilson. I will just drop onto the Eisenhower exit, unlock, load, and holster there. People get so testy when they see you loading firearm. I can see getting questioned by Police once or twice a month.

Pulled from MSP Website​​

"Yes, under Title 18, Section 926A, of the United States Code, a person who is not prohibited from possessing, transporting, shipping, or receiving a firearm shall be entitled to transport a firearm for any lawful purpose from any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm to any place where he may lawfully possess and carry such firearm if, during such transportation the firearm is unloaded, neither the firearm nor any ammunition being transported is readily accessible or is directly accessible from the passenger compartment. In the case the vehicle does not have a compartment separate from the driver's compartment the firearm or ammunition shall be contained in a locked compartment other than the glove compartment or console.​"

I don't let anybody see this process because after all the goal is CCW. I risk being followed by someone who sees I have heavy metal that they can acquire if they get the jump on me from behind in a parking lot.

When I OC I am assume Thug Life is coming at me from all directions. I do it to fly the flag, but I don't relax. If I want to concentrate on my errands or business, I CCW.

All good advice. Several other threads on this, also a 'sticky' on the process.

Maryland is a very non-permissive "may issue" state. But in recent years, largey due to Hogan appointing a more reasonable Handgun Permit Review Board (HPRB), your odds are slightly better now than in the last few decades. You have to articulate an undefined (subjective) "Good and Substantial" reason to get a permit. Who gets one and for what reason is arbitrary and denying an otherwise law-abiding person their right to defend themselves is capricious. It's also an infringement of a Constitutionally protected right (so it's also illegal).

In other threads you'll find advice on strategies to improve your odds of getting a permit, but some very well qualified folks (many on this forum) have been denied, some granted a permit but given restrictions. It's an ongoing saga that has unified many of us to take action, expose this 'problem' and dedicate our time and money to try to make it better. We would be stronger if you would join us. The good news is, I feel we are winning, slowly.

Also, your odds of getting a MD "Wear and Carry" (W&C) Permit skyrocket if you can prove that you routinely carry large amounts of cash. Makes no sense, but it is what it is.

Just looking out. Don't want you getting caught with a pistol in your glove box.
