Carry in to Mva

[Sixdogsgun]

Can I carry into Mva or do I need to leave in car

 

[welder516]

No go

 

[LAC_MD]

Don’t even think it’s legal in the parking lot

This is a ridiculous restriction. I mean who has ever wanted to kill in the MVA?

At the MVAs I've been to, there's usually an MDSP trooper at the entrance. I've never felt the need to carry there (even though I cannot carry there even if I did want to).

But when u are out and about and at some point need to stop by to drop tags off.

Not 100% sure but you may be able to drop tags and do other business at Tag Centers licensed by the state and not be bound by the same issues.

Make sure you keep your receipt for a few years. Trust me on this.

I stopped in one unexpectedly last week and wondered the same thing. I didn’t see a sign telling me not to bring a gun in so maybe I did. Concealed means concealed.

That was good - I literally LOL'd when I read that.

Me too, but you beat me to the emoji.

Are you talking about the OLD MVA in Glen Burnie years ago?

 

[sxs]

I was going to make the distinction that what one does is often different from what they WANT to do

I think the MVA Express are all on privately owned property, like shopping centers. So, I’m pretty sure you are allowed to leave your gun in your car on the parking lot. At a full service MVA, I think having it in the car may not be allowed as it is state government property.

In the past I would have laughed, as most would have said it would be ripe for people to snap and go postal, but since the Wuhan Flu made appointments necessary, they have actually gotten efficient.

Last time I had to visit the MVA in person, I got an appointment.

I showed up several minutes early, and go into the line for people with appointments. Yes, I just wrote "line for people with appointments".

While standing there someone dressed like attended a concert the night before and failed to make it home (random music group t-shirt, no visible indication they worked there) began asking people the time of their appointment.

After responding she told me and several other people that we were "too early" to be standing in the line.

I went and sat down for what seemed to me to be a reasonable time before going and getting back in line. I was eventually given a number and told to go sit on the opposite side of the building. Yes, I just wrote that I was given a number and told to wait for the number to come up for my "appointment". I complied and sat with my number waiting to be chosen.

After what seemed to be a decade later, my number came up on the screen along with the window assignment. This window and the one next to it were the ones dedicated to the particular business I had to transact, and they were both on the opposite side of the building from where I was told to sit.

for the new, efficient MVA!

Was it in Annapolis? That is where I have gone each time, and had no wait time longer than 30 seconds. The last time, it wasn't even that long. I was getting a tag&title for a motorcycle build done, and after the on-line check-in, my butt was almost on the seat when my number was called. Lass at the window was fast and efficient, and her manager behind getting the tags, etc...was running around like crazy.

Totally second this.

OP did not mention what business needed to be taken care of but I use a "Tag and Title" place when possible to avoid the situation all together. It is worth my time, money and sanity to do so.
