I was going to be a smart ass and ask him what he was carrying. Obviously I didn't.
This question seems to have most of us stumped.

That glock pic is not right. That is a SF model and they have different rails.
What makes you say that? Maybe the guy is a cop or retired cop. Maybe he has an unrestricted permit, or maybe he is discussing business with a client.
Open carry is legal with a W&C permit, so maybe this guy just wants to be comfortable and he's all out of fvchs to give if his shirt doesn't completely cover his firearm.
He was a business owner. Looked like a pool company from the t shirt logo. He was sitting talking to a friend waiting for a client. The client called and asked if he could meet somewhere else, so he got up and left. Portly guy + small t shirt = shirt rise.
The guy was about 65 with not a fvck to give.
Not one person was killed that day at Starbucks.

Glock, did you let him know? I sometimes do, just quietly and respectfully, better than letting him continue a bad practice and make others look bad.
Nope. None of my business. Even a gentle reminder to a complete stranger can go south real fast. His shirt was so tight and short, it would have made no difference.
He had a gun. I had a gun. I had the drop on him if he would have broken bad for some reason. That's all I care about.
Which bad practice might that be? Open carry of a handgun is legal with a permit in MD.
And the State Police will quickly relieve you of that permit should you open carry your handgun.

Why? If it's perfectly legal and he can produce his permit on his person then the situation should end there?
Does anyone actually open carry on here? Is it essentially forbidden without being illegal?
I ask because some of my guns are rather bulky and open carry on my farm would be a real hassle to unholster then always keep around a IWB holster just to swap to make a run to the store for supplies or food etc

Anyone declaring the business owner restriction is arbitrary, you want to discuss this meaning/language with an officer? I'll keep mine completely concealed, ymmv
Mine prints moat of the time. Doesn't bother me. I don't care who it bothers.

It's only legal because some enthusiasts here state that it's "not illegal". But query those who say it is legal if they open carry.
That's what I thought.....

Looks like hes concealing a ar pistol with a possible sig brace 
You must be delirious and forgot where you live. The state police control your license to carry, not the law. The secretary says that if you open carry you are creating undue public concern or some ******** like that, can't remember the troopers exact words. That's the first thing.
Second, why are you asking me this question or wanting to debate it with me? I do not make up the regulations nor the code of conduct for wear and carry, argue your point with the State Police and let me know how that works out for you. I commented on what I know because it was in the letter they sent me when I first received my permit.
Try carrying an AR down the street loaded and see how that works out, not against the law according to the state's attorney's office. Let me know how much that costs you in attorney's fee's. Open carry will get you in deep shit with MSP and WILL cost you your permit, try it and see so you can be the poster child.

If anyone is game, go stroll the two blocks of Wisconsin Ave between Old Georgetown and Elm doing that. My bet is you never get to turn the opposite direction.

Dude might be retired LEO and still own a pool company. Plenty of guys retire around 50, then find another job when they get bored. And a lot of cops are awful at carrying concealed.

Noted!
Not arguing against you at all, just gathering information and it appears one would get quite the lesson if they carried openly daily particularly in certain areas of the state much more than others..
After reading the language used, I could certainly see how easy it could be interpreted against you. Even if 9 out of LEO's have zero issue it just takes one to ruin your day or even future as a W&C holder.. or even just random person overreacting by the sight of it without seeing any type of LE/Security uniform attached..
Have around 10 friends in LE here in MD (state, county, city..even neighbor is a LEO) would be interesting to ask what their take would be if they came across a W&C holder with a holstered OC
Wouldn't be me but would be quite the sight !
