It sets cops up for problems, too.You’d think a memo or SO would be issued in anticipation of these encounters
As I said bad leadership

Very good. The libtards in the MD "legislature" don't want the officers to know this, they would rather let them harass innocent citizens and cause them grief, than obey those laws! Good job, sir.On Saturday, Sept. 17, 2022, I was in Ocean City, Maryland for O.C. Bike Week. While traveling north on Baltimore Ave. on my motorcycle, I noticed an O.C.P.D. officer on a side street. When I passed him, I noticed he pulled out behind me and attempted to catch up. I advised my friend that was riding next to me, at the next traffic light, as soon as we turn on to Ocean Hwy prepare to be stopped. As soon as we turned onto Ocean Hwy, the O.C.P.D. officer initiated a traffic stop. I stopped the vehicle and the command from behind was..." Driver... keep both hands on the handlebars." After complying with his command, the officer came toward and made contact with me. I advised him immediately that I have a valid Maryland Wear and Carry permit. He asked for my license and permit and I gave him permission to retrieve them from my right rear pocket. He looked at the permit and said he would be back. We both spoke at the same time, if memory serves correctly, and I said to him... "Are you calling the Gun Center?" as he was saying it to me. We were both on the same page. I noticed when he came back, his demeanor had changed for the better. I explained to him that Maryland issues a Wear and Carry permit and it is at the discretion of the permit holder the manor which the firearm would be carried, Open or Concealed. The officer responded that he believed me to be wrong. I said this is not the place to debate the issue, as by now, an armada of police vehicles operated by uniformed officers, as well as fully kitted tactical response officers and State Troopers had amassed behind me. I explained to him that Md. Code 4-203 and 5-307 are the sections governing carry permits and that is where he will find all the information that I had given him to be factual. He printed his phone number on an O.C.P.D. business card and asked me to call him and to forward this information so he could inform his department. I explained to him that the Bruen decision had eliminated the "Good and Substantial" reason needed for a permit and that a flood of applications, over 90,000, are at the Licensing Division of MSP. I told him that I am not going to be the last person he sees open carrying a firearm. The Corporal shook my hand and said he would appreciate that I cover it while in O.C. as the next officer that stops me may not be so cordial. The officer that initiated the traffic stop was absolutely professional and courteous.
Since returning home from my trip, I have contacted the Office of the Attorney General. The Assistant Attorney General assigned to Maryland State Police is still Mark Bowen. I have a call in to him and while speaking to the secretary, she advised that she was taking notes and was emailing him as we spoke. I explained to her that I would like to have an official interpretation, in writing, how Maryland defines "Wear and Carry" with respect to Open or Concealed. I am awaiting a call, or preferably an email, from A.A.G Bowen.

my fear is something that will affect the cops based on wrong informationVery good. The libtards in the MD "legislature" don't want the officers to know this, they would rather let them harass innocent citizens and cause them grief, than obey those laws! Good job, sir.
Not in MD. Anal leftists, including our libtard RINO grubner.You'd think
Thank you!I'm trying to get a replay from the station... they have yet to reply back.
Something to the effect that since Bruen you may see more people open carrying and that it is legal in Maryland with a permit to carry.
Well it’s called the Gun Center
Maybe not

I'd like to see what is told to the LEO's as well.Good update. I’d love to see that internal memo sent out to all LEOA’s regarding this matter.
Amazing this heads up was not sent out once Bruen was decided.
It sets cops up for problems, too.
I asked my BCPD buddy. He said he hasn't seen anything but didn't say if he'd share if he doesI'd like to see what is told to the LEO's as well.
