not having either the ammo or the firearm a locked case is not following the spirit of the law.
It's breaking it. laws are written a certain way for a reason.
Courts deal in facts, not good intentions.
ETA FOPA only applies if crossing through a state other than your own.. trips that start and stop in MD follow the MD Statute 4-203 enclosed case or holster
MD AG opinions
It seems the way the law is written one couldn't take their lawfully owned firearm out of state to carry in another state that they have a permit to do so in. Mr Cohen almost goes out of his way to state as much.
So how many of us break the law daily, weekly of whatever. It seems this should be "low hanging fruit" that the governor could help with if he was really "with" us.
