Sounds risky, but I've heard of plenty of people doing it. I wonder if you'll get anyone to admit it.....
I suggest you move to a state where you are free. |

OK I'll admit I use to do it WHEN I lived in Ohio , as a minority in a almost all white rural area I use to carry a 45 Colt and a Mini-14 with a Choate folding stock . Both came in handy on late summer night while delivering pizza ! Nuf said !!

Maybe not quite that bad. The local police probably don't patrol this site, and the BATF would probably have no jurisdiction. |

Of course not!! But, I have a friend who sometimes carries illegally. He lives in free state, but sometimes [s]I[/s] he carries into places that are off-limits. It's your call, but don't get caught!! You have to do a personal cost/benefit analysis, weighing risks of getting hurt versus getting arrested, etc.

Dude --
MD Subscribes to *Operation EXILE* (an NRA Sponsored op), which in basic terms means: Illeagal gun = 5 years in FEDERAL (no parole) Prison. Consider your cost/benefits, should you even be able to plea it down, you're looking at a misdemeanor which could potentially disqualify you from *ever* getting another carry permit in another state. Me, I'd move. There are reasons I don't live in MD, VA, IL, NE, MI, and NY. Another option is to get an "out of state" permit from a state like Texas, and look to the NRA's ILA website (www.ILA.org) to see if MD has carry recoprocity with any other states). |

Mayday, I suggest you have a very hypothetical discussion of this issue with a criminal defense attorney in your area. Get a good idea of just how severe the legal consequences would be if you were caught.
One problem with living in Maryland (as opposed to, say, rural Ohio) is that you not only have to worry about the law but also about the attitudes of those who would be serving on a jury. |

I tell this to ALL perps...
"it wasn't the fact that you were (insert crime here), it was the fact that you were caught!" Even though I personally may be a "cool" or more leniant cop, many LEO's won't be as kind. With that being said, if you do carry illegally be prepared to face the consequences should you get caught. I urge you to go about carrying LEGALLY in the state of Maryland. There are enough examples of trouble with the local authorities re: firearms, take OneShot1Kill for instance. |

Quoted: I just moved to Bethesda, Maryland and it seems like I've stepped into Liberal heaven. Anyway, having lived in Central Pa & having a carry permit for over a decade, I feel a little naked not being able to carry in MD. Its out of the question getting a carry permit here but I have friends that have advised me to just do it. Here's their logic. First, never in my life have I been searched by the police. Second, if i have to use it, it'll be to save my life from certain injury or death. So it doesnt matter if I get charged...at least I'll be alive. Third, If I do get cought carrying, I have a perfect criminal/driving record, have $ for atorney and it'll probably get reduced to fine & probation with expungement of charges after a year or so. I was just wondering what other members feel about his. Its not very far from Bethesda across the river to Virginia, I'd say come on over to the Old Dominion. We got guns over here. |

I would not recommend doing it. I have been charged with carrying concealed twice for having a hunting knife under my front seat. It cost me tons of money in lawyer and court fees to get out of it both times. And that was just a knife. Not a gun. It could of cost me a lot of rights including the right to own a gun if things had went a little differently in court. |

Only problem I have with it is not being able to take my wife to a nice resturant and carry because they serve alcohol. You can not carry into a place that serves alcohol for cunsumption. Bars I agree with with, resturants that serve food primarly I do not. -Kc |

I was just wondering what other members feel about his. Let me start by agreeing with others here that either you moved too far south or not far enough. The problem in Maryland is they have extremely overzealous police, in my experience. No such thing as leniency, especially where guns are concerned. Your dreams of probation and expungement are just that: a dream. More like 5 years in Jessup. You don't want to spend ONE DAY in that place. You've never been searched by the police because as you say you came from central Pa., where the police are professionals (at least the State Police). Not so in Maryland. I'll admit, a former job of mine had me going into the worst parts of Baltimore City in the wee hours of night. I carried every time in those circumstances. But I would not do it casually, and I don't do it at all now since I don't have to go into Cherry Hill or west Baltimore at 3:00AM on a Saturday morning any more. You could live in extremely south Pa. and commute to Bethesda fairly easily, or like others have said move to Virginia. Or lock up your guns and take your chances. Think this over very carefully. I myself moved to Pa. 15 years ago and commute into Baltimore for these very reasons (well, that and taxes, cost of living, nice neighbors, etc....). |

Good quesiton Mayday. I've never carried illegally, but I've been tempted to almost every single day I had a working Kel-Tec P-32. I don't have enough money to defend myself in court, and at my age if I was sentenced to several years, I probably wouldn't live long enough to see freedom again. That's a sobering thought, dying in jail. So, no I don't carry. I consider the chances of being found by the local cops much more likely than being hurt by a local thug. I've been mugged three times in the past fourteen months, but I've survived them with only a scratch.z

I don't know why a criminal would obey the little sign that states no weapons. If they don't abide by it, then why should I? The only time I do carry illegally is when I go to a late movie. I'm just not going to risk it. If I happen to blow a POS away after he has just shot 5 people in the theater, I will probably be thanked... |

Me do something illegal with a gun? In Massachusetts? You crazy? Whatchoo talkin' bout, Willis? Criminals do it all the time, but RARELY get caught. They don't even worry about anti-gun laws, whereas honest citizens (the real targets of anti-gun laws) get bagged for illegal CCW with astonishing regularity. Go figure.
Not only would I lose my privileges in MA to own pistols/hi-cap rifles/mags, but I'd probably end up forfeiting FOR LIFE all my gun privileges (notice, I did NOT say "gun rights"), sell all my guns (if they hadn't been already seized) to help pay the huge legal bill$$$$$$ to keep me out on the street, esp. if I am faced with a zealous anti-gun prosecutor (a foregone conclusion...). And I'm not even going to factor in the jury. Ah, yes- the jury. *sigh* If gun owners are the new niggers of society, then, in a brainwashed liberal stronghold such as Massachusetts, I'd be up against the equivalent of an ALL-WHITE JURY.... And besides, if I were to carry illegally, I surely wouldn't advertise it here anyway.[%|] ..................................

Renamed suggested talking to a lawyer, that is sound advice. 13f said "in possesion of a firearm commiting a crime" well here in Ks possessing a concealed firearm is a crime so they could hit you with both.

I hated not being able to carry in the old days. I did delivery work in college. Things were bad enough where I worked that I got a .30 carbine (with the wife's blessing, which is rare) to carry in the car because it is legal to carry a long gun.
Now I don't leave the house, ever, without a gun (or two, or six). As someone who carries all of the time (legally and professionally), I can understand why someone would want to be armed at all times. Maybe I'm a bit paranoid, although I think I have good reason to be. Trouble has a way of finding you, sometimes. About six months ago, I was getting dinner with my wife and sister-in-law. I went to the counter in the pizza restaraunt to get some more napkins. The guy at the counter flagged me down. He wanted to "thank" me for getting his life back on track and straightening him out. I had no idea in hell who he was (and still don't). He saw the confusion on my face, so he lifted up his pants leg and showed me his ankle monitor. Oh. I must have arrested him at some point in time. I had no idea who he was, but he sure as hell remembered me. And the next one who remembers me might not be as friendly. |

I know I'm going to run into the police whether at a license check, at work, or while walking to/from work. I don't know for sure if I'm going to be mugged and attacked. Odds are much greater the police are going to harm me (jail time) than a bad guy. That's why I don't carry, but I wish I could. |

Illegaly carrying is stupid. If you do have to use your gun YOU are gonna be in more trouble then the SOB that tried to rob/attack you. It's gonna cost you at least 5K in lawyer fees not to mention possible jail time and a felony record. And all this to avoid what ? giving up your wallet ? Its not worth it.
I have a carry permit but most of the time I don't carry becuase I think even with a carry permit you'll be in a shit load of trouble if you do have to shoot someone. To me my carry permit is good for kicks becuases if I ever shoot someone in self-defense I'm assured to be charged with murder and be looking at 10k worth of lawyer fees to clear myself. |

And that is the crux of the matter- police know they can't eliminate the criminals. But they can eliminate us, the lawful, should we decide to follow the 2nd Amendment as written.[rolleyes] Gun owners are criminals until they can prove to the State otherwise. Don't agree? Try walking into a gun shop and buying a gun w/o a Brady or state background check. If you get that gun there w/o proving you are not a criminal, you WILL be a criminal....[:(!] |
