Those two stories don't surprise me a bit. Got out of MD 3 years ago and so glad we did. Prior to that i was attending some rallyes and hearings before they enacted their terrible gun bill maybe 5-6 yrs ago. An old guy testified he had moved to Md 15 yrs prior to help a sick relative who died 10 yrs later. He had been busy so hadn't shot any of the guns he brought w/ him all those 10 yrs. W/ time on his hands he starts shooting again and so is buying ammo at various stores. A year later he opens the front door to a knock at 730PM by the leader of a SWAT team. He is asked why he is buying ammo when there are no guns registered to his name in Md. See, Md has always been a bunch of sneaky b-----ds. To buy ammo one always had to show one's driver's license which I assumed was to verify you were over 21 yrs old. But they have someone in a room somewhere crossing ammo purchases w/ gun registrations. Unbelievable but true.
BTW, the old guy had been going to make his last drive from Md to Texas the previous Friday but delayed his trip until that Tuesday so he could testify. He got out too and I bet is having a blast in Tx.

Wrong answer. One cannot make an appointment for an emergency, and a pistol is what one carries when they have no reason to expect a problem.

Thank you all for your input. I made it back from NJ safely but I missed having my Shield in my pocket holster. Future trips will be to PA through WV with my Shield and will avoid NJ.

Does anyone else see the irony here? The very swamps where you might need a gun are the very places you have trouble possessing one.

He said NJ not a specific city. Plenty of great cities in NJ. He could have been in Alpine NJ ranked as America's most expensive ZIP code with a median home price of $4.25 million and the median family income was $192,188. Home to wall street types, sports players and actors. It's Beverly Hills with snow

You mean NYC without physically living in NYC...That's the equivalent of calling the NY Giants the NY Giants...

Yes but it's still NJ and still NJ zip code. It's like saying if you live in NE Philly it may as well be Cherry Hill or Pensauken NJ. While close to each other one is still in PA

In other words stay out of those foreign states. They have no respect for Constitutional law of the land.
I refuse to fly any more because I refuse to be treated like a terrorist or a criminal. Now I can't even drive across this country without being suspect if I have an NRA sticker on my car. Which I don't for that very reason. What happened to my 2nd rights that our soldiers fight and have fought to preserve for me?

I'm just saying while they reside there NYC gets all the credit like the Giants lol and most of those people consider themselves New Yorkers. Like you mentioned people from Philly that work in Philly but live in Cherry Hill. NJ just has so much inlfuence from its surrounding cities. All that overflow is why I left, it increases costs and taxes for people who live AND work in NJ and make NJ wages not NYC wages. Yeah the state may be seeing the benefits of NYC overflow but the average everyday blue collar people don't. And where are all the good school systems? Where the rich people live who make NYC wages working in NYC.
Not to mention all the bs city like mentality gun laws and restrictions... NJ is the way it is simply bc of where it's located. It does whatever it's big brother wants it to do.

This **** sucks. We moved out of Md 3 yrs ago to N Va. Been carrying since but I go to a lot of auto events in Md. I had been keeping a self defense device in a case behind the passenger seat of my roadster. This past weekend, I left it at home. I don't like that feeling at all.

I've been watching a lot of Live PD. Great show on Fridays and Saturdays 9-12. Anyway, apparently, when stopped by the cops all you have to say is "ain't doing nuffin" and "snot mine, I'm just holdin' for a friend, (who's name is always unpronounceable as they can never remember). Like a get out of Jail free card.
I have to say I'm astounded that after two pages of individual opinions on what the laws are that no one told the OP to take a look at the website handgunlaw.us. This website is researched and maintained with great effort by a member of our forum, Gary Slider. I regard it as the bible when you are talking about state handgun laws and travel through them.
It is great to have personal opinion & stories but why not also read the real deal?

I live in North Carolina. I have decided I don't need to visit Maine or New Hampshire. I wonder if states in the northeast know or even care that many people will not venture into their area because of the hostile gun environment. Quite often I travel by motor home for months at a time. I'm not going to put myself at risk for prosecution by traveling into or through those states.

I think that the answer should be obvious to anyone who knows me.
After reading thread I've decided I'm never going to NJ or Maryland. I suggest no one spend their money in these states and others like them Vote with your wallet and let it be known. When the thugs and criminals take over and all the tourists, and even tax paying residents leave, maybe they'll get the idea. But I doubt that, as those stats seem to value their criminals more then their law abiding citizens who foot the bill for their stupid policies. You all come to Texas. You won't have those problems here
Some good advice in this thread. I live near MD and DC, and that proximity is why I never leave a gun in my truck/car -- what if I forget and wander over there? The crime rates there are much higher, anyway.
I have an example of egregious gun laws that top anything in this thread, although the story may be apocrophal. In DC, empty shells are considered ammunition, and you cannot have ammunition unless you have a gun permit for a gun in the same caliber. Gun permits are virtually impossible to obtain unless you are a politician. Warning: D.C. cops under orders to arrest tourists with empty bullet casings
So here's the egregious case: a man had a cigarette lighter made out of an old rifle casing. His wife, during the course of their divorce, found out about the DC law and called the police to his house -- and he was arrested for having illegal ammunition because he did not have a gun permit.
True story? I don't know. It could be.

Maybe from local officials who openly state they will not comply with FOPA?
