Looks like it's damn near impossible to get a CCP in state, or for out of state for that matter.

I have to visit MD a lot for medical care...doesn't look like I have a prayer for a permit. I loved it that 6 people were shot on tuesday night in Baltimore...I have to pick hotels that have patrolled grounds.

Any of you guys from MD have some insight?

1: Own a business that closes late night..

or..

2: Prove that someone is out to get you.

dangerous damn city with an awesome hospital.

better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6.

most cops i know wouldnt enter bmore city without a gun. most of the time i am in the city i'm drinking so i dont carry and have never had a problem.

yeah danos, i see what you're saying

my dad drives me to Hopkins...so far we've been there 7 times this year. probably another 5-7 times by the end of the year (might need an ICD/pacemaker). we haven't had a problem yet--except for being a cab where rival african drivers were yelling at each other in their languages and swinging a crow bar.

my dad's travelled all over the world for workand to some nasty places, so I sort of have my bodyguard--he knows when things are not good...that kind of thing.

i'd feel much more comfortable carrying at least in the car when traveling. generally though, i think its gang/drug violence. inner harbor seems at least in the day safe--lots of cops.

i like though, in PA, i can carry. even though i don't carry all the time, i like that i can choose to have a fighting chance. i should write Maryland atty. general why they let the thugs/convicts carry and law abiding citizens not.

at least i can have a big mag-lite in the car.

I'm using ZoneAlarm Security Suite Version 7.0.483.

There's a third:

Be a retired cop (like me). ;)

Either carry around a lot of money, or get assaulted a few times and file police reports...you'll then be <i>considered</I> for licensure. &lt;smack&gt;

PS - The P6 shoots nicely...I have a new main spring and short trigger on the way...might do different/adjustable sights next, we'll see.
