“...searching for his Kel-Tec .38 semi-automatic handgun...”
-
I don’t know about Florida, or Maryland, but here in Georgia
I have a “weapons carry permit”, but it is not linked to any particular weapon.
They may not have been looking for the Kel-Tec specifically, they were looking for *any* weapon since he has a CCW in another state.
Yes, that is true. Also, here in Georgia you are not legally required to inform an officer who stops your vehicle that you are a Georgia Weapons Carry Licensee.
Georgia HB60 prohibits an officer from asking this without valid articular suspicion. It further prohibits the formation and use of any multi-county GWCL data in these instances. The instructor that taught my wife and daughter (a former LEO here in GA) told them if they are ever asked if they have a weapon in the car (if they have a GWCL) is to say “none that you should be concerned with.”
Georgia gun laws are generally 2A friendly, but the one biggie I don’t like is you cannot open carry a handgun without a GWCL.
That’s true for most “permit” states in the South I thought.
A smart CCW holder would leave his car at home and rent if they plan on going on a road trip through Commieland Stasi states like Maryland.
Cops look at plates and run the tags to see what they can find (like permit holders).
A Kel-Tec .38 semi-auto? Didn`t know they made them. I have heard of the .380 that they make, I would guess that`s a .38 super, right?
