You can open carry long guns in Maryland..
I wouldn't try it, unless you got a lot of free time, money and someone to watch your house for a few years.

Put one in your back window gun rack and see how long you cruise without some trooper pulling you over.

I dare you to try it.
Because you aren't banned from carrying, only restricted.

The restriction are pretty damned close to a ban.
You have to be a friend of the head State Trooper to get a permit.
It's not who you know...

I can't help you get the stones to carry legally, but here's the AG' response.

I didn't know any State Troopers and I had a MD permit for almost 25 years.
The statement was "it's not"
BTW, I know a couple of folks who managed a MD carry permit, Post GAO Data Breech, but for ordinary citizens its impossible.
Also, noting your "Free America" by-line, I don't think you reside here, do you?

And your G&S was? Easy for someone with one to say it's easy, but unless you meet the very narrowly defined criteria, you stand a snowballs chance of getting one.

I left Maryland not just because of the huge 2nd Amendment restrictions but also because of business, property and personal taxes.
I haven't lived in MD for about 5 years, but I lived there most of my 58 years.
A you have really ever needed in MD to get a Carry Permit is a business or to work for a business and carry cash, valuables or make bank deposits. It's just a bunch of hoops they make you go through.
In most cases in Maryland it will be a restricted permit...
Recently the hoop for carrying cash has been dropped.

So, I have to open and operate a business just to carry? Any business, or one that means I handle cash?
As BD noted, the requirement to prove and document that you handle/carry certain amounts of cash has been removed; you now have to only prove you own/operate a business.
And they can put "only can carry here or there, when.." restrictions on it too.

Well thanks goodness for the equal protection clause in the US Constitution. If it is to apply to them, then it must apply to the rest of the country as well.

Typically restricted to carrying only when "conducting business". For many types of businesses, it gets you nothing you didn't already have, since it has always been legal, in most cases, to arm yourself within the confines of your business location. By contrast, a good friend of mine, a commercial and residential electrician, has a concealed license that is virtually unrestricted because he owns his electrical business, does a lot of work in some very rough neighborhoods, and is on emergency repair call 24/7.
So your "Dave's Basket Weaving and Agate Marbles" LLC might not be G&S to get you a license.
I still kick myself for not getting mine back when I owned a Bar/restaurant/store/hotel/marina complex, and really did have to handle large amounts of cash, on and off the ,premises, in the wee hours of the morning.
