It would probably be the Asst AG assigned to MSP. At least it would settle the issue.
Other AAG's have been assigned such work in the past. I wouldn't say "probably" at all

You know nothing about me and obviously have no knowledge of my efforts in fighting for your rights in this state since WAY before you decided to join us and help. Since you don't know me I will tell you a little about me, I have no problem having discussion with someone especially when they have as much "cred" as swinokur does and he is misinforming people instead of stating that it is in his opinion. Saying IANAL and then giving an interpretation of the law doesn't give you a pass when folks like yourself are going to read threads like this and get arrested for doing something that is against the law.
I have had this and the other laws that pertain to the handgun statutes interpreted by lawyers, a few of them actually, for the classes I give and they have interpreted it exactly as I have stated. They are criminal defense attorneys also, in case you were wondering and they also happen to specialize in the 2A laws here in Maryland. Unlike other folks on this forum that post things and have nothing more but what their buddy told them or a belief that they are right, I have actually consulted legal professionals practicing law in my state. I do this so that when I teach this in my classes, I am giving students the best possible information I can give them to keep them from losing their 2A rights in a socialist state like this one.
As far as being an industry partner goes, look at the last class I posted prior to making the comment. I do not rely on the members of this forum to populate my classes for one and I would hope that, unlike yourself, they would appreciate me sharing the knowledge I have from actual lawyers and not the guy at the gun shop. If you don't appreciate that then I'm sorry and you should follow their advise and stop wherever you want and not worry about it and so should everyone else that wants to be the test case for the law and what the law makers intent was.
Short of that, I am who I am and I say what I think, sorry if you didn't like it but it won't be stopping anytime soon.
Upon reflection, I agree. As was pointed out, we can pretty much conclude what an AG opinion would be.
Best to leave it alone and do what you feel comfortable with.
An opinion, even a legal one, is still an opinion, not a fact, no matter how much you claim to the contrary. The only way this is decided is if a court gives a ruling. Then by stare decisis that becomes the controlling precedent.
The fact you claim was more opinions, even if from lawyers.
You are entitled to your own opinion.
You are not entitled to your own facts
IANAL
I think this has been beaten to death.
So people should do what they feel comfortable with.
