1. Yes , With the proper permit.(CCW)\n2. Yes * A person may not carry or possess a firearm, knife, or deadly weapon of any kind on public school property.(MD Criminal Law § 4-102.)\n3. Yes * See #1\nNOTE: In MD it is almost impossible for a non-resident to get a permit. For that matter most MD residents can't either. You can view the law on Permits (Article 27 Crimes and Punishment: Handguns: § 36E. Permits) \nArticle 27 SEC. 36D (b)\n\nNOTE: (Article 27 SEC. 36D (b))In the event that the officer discovers the person to be wearing, carrying or transporting a handgun, he may demand that the person produce evidence that he is entitled to so wear, carry, or transport the handgun pursuant to Sec. 36B (c) of this article.

I believe it is my responsibility to protect myself and my family, i have always believed this and cannot understand why anyone would want to ban weapons from private citizens. The wisest question i have seen posted in some time, hopefully you will continue to provide all the people on here the ability to make use of their braincells, Granted, there are some who will miss your point but i can see that it has nothing to do with gun control and should be treated as a legitimate question to encourage debate and provide people the info to protect themselves and their families.

While I would like to own a class three weapon, I wouldn't ask such a question in an open forum.  Currently, the convenience store (BATF) is pursuing several legal gunsmiths for various reasons.  If they found out you did this they would be at your door.

San Francisco as part of California may have some city ordinances on the subject I don't know, but as part of the state you can carry a rifle in your car so long as its not loaded, not concealed and simply be transported (meaning you are going to a range, to a shop to have it fixed or moving).  They actually have gun shows in the city; but not many any more.

The answer varies from state to state, but most agree that you can carry a knife with a blade smaller than 6".  Most require that the blades are sheathed either in a sheath or folded into the handle.  They also outlaw spring-loaded knives, such as switchblades, and gravity knives in most places.\n\nHowever a Boy Scout carrying a multi-tool won't raise an eyebrow no matter how young he is.   It really depends on why you want to carry it.   If it is for work, there usually no problems.  If it's for defense there are slight problems.  If it is for criminal activity or for assaulting somebody, there are huge problems.\n\nThere also laws about where you can carry a knife.  Schools, banks and hospitals are usually off limits.

You need to look up the state law where you live.  Most states don't allow minors to own weapons, but are permitted to use them under parental supervision.

LOL.. Uhmm, I've seen some interesting questions.  As for this one I don't think it is uncool to take a DOO DOO outside.  Just be sure it's not in the neighbor's yard.  That would be embaressing to answer to that... lol

While I'm not sure what state you are in it is possible for you to be charged with carrying a concealed weapon in your car in California.  (where I am from).\n\nIn California if I we're to take a gun to a gun shop I must have it in plain view, unloaded and be on the way to a gun shop.  Otherwise it could well be considered a concealed weapon in the car.  \n\nIt depends on where it was in the car - if it was hidden there is a good chance you will face charges.  If it was in plain view you could argue you we're moving it from home to the office, from home to a gun shop or that you we're intending to go shooting that night?\n\nBy the way - how did they find it?  They had to have cause to search unless you gave them consent?

9/11 has nothing to do with gun ownership.  In fact, the rules have been eased in many states since 9/11.\n\n2 states, Vermont and Alaska, have no restrictions on ownership and do not require permits.  \n\n37 states have "shall issue" laws that require issuance of a permit to anyone who meets certain qualifications, i.e., no felonies, no mental defect, completion of training, pay a fee, etc.  Local authorities are not allowed to refuse a permit application from a qualified applicant.\n\n9 states have "may issue" laws that permit local authorities to deny a permit for any reason.  For example, if you live in rural upstate New York, you'll probably get a permit easily but don't even ask in New York City unless you own a jewelry store.\n\n2 states, Illinois and Wisconsin, prohibit concealed carry and have no provisions for issuance of permits.  Pundits predict that Wisconsin will have a CC law by the end of 2007, maybe sooner.\n\nSo, that begs a question:  What the heck IS your question??

Technically, yes. You have the right to have it in your home. That's it. When you get a license, it's called a concealed carry permit. You cannot conceal a sword and therefore won't be permited to carry one.  But up on your wall at home is fine.  I had a friend who was walking from one house to another and had a sword in his coat.  He was stopped by the police and was charged with a concealed weapon.  He fought it and lost, so I would suggest against even taking it out of your home.

I have lived most of my life in Virginia.  If you sold the gun to someone of legal age... then how did you know that there would be a problem.  Also, if this person is a felon, then he should have not attempted to purchase the gun in the first place. Guns are listed everyday in Classified ads and sold all the time at Flea Markets.  If it were against the law, the where are the police when this is happening???  Sounds like you were done wrong in my personal opinion.  Look at it like this, if you are selling a car, do you ask the see if the person is legal t drive it away?

I don't believe if you have a felony conviction that you can own any firearms regardless of the state.  However, I do think that you can petition to have your rights returned to you as your felony conviction is so old.  After doing some research however, I have not found anything that says that the right to own a firearm is one of the rights you can have restored.  Check with your local law enforcement.

Peacemaker has it right -- no better site than http://www.packing.org\n\nHowever, if you want to know about the ins and outs of carrying concealed, you should subscribe to Dr Mike Brown's highly regarded yahoo group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wa-ccw/\n\nMost subscribers are from Washington, but the list is very relevant to CCW in all states.\n\nLeigh \nNRA Instructor\nhttp://www.NWSafe.org

I live in a state where guns are just a part of life. Most Alaskans have guns, some for protection, but mostly for hunting. I get pissed when people who live in big cities sneer down at those of us who chose a rural lifestyle and want to regulate guns. Um - when there is a bear on your front porch, trying to get in, come talk to me about gun control. When wolves are eating your pet dog in your yard, come talk to me about gun control. (Both incidents have happened in the town of Healy, Alaska and both are pretty recent.) When you move out to a village that is off the road system, where ALL of your food needs to be flown in and you're paying more than $7 for a gallon of milk, come talk to me about gun control. (I don't know what a pound of ground beef goes for, sorry) I know many Alaskan families - even here in Fairbanks, the 2nd largest city, who wouldn't make it through the winter if they didn't get a moose. Until Rosie - or any other anti-gun person - is willing to come up here and spend a year in a village, where they HAVE to hunt to survive, I don't pay much attention to them.

I live in Texas and I can give you the exact answer to this. Texas is one of the few states that allows people (ordinary citizens) to carry concealed handguns as long as they have a permit to do so. You can legally shoot someone on your property in Texas ONLY if you percieve a direct threat to yourself or your family. And you better kill them dead or they can charge you with assault...Kind of a catch 22 situation...When you get a concealed handgun permit in Texas they will tell you...If youre going to pull the trigger...make sure you shoot to kill.
