How did Maryland policemen know that a Florida tourist owned a gun? Is there a system in place whereby police everywhere know you own a weapon and, in this case, wanted to confiscate the weapon? Seems like the Gestapo has been revived and we all may be in peril of losing our weapons on the whim of some renegade law enforcement agency.
UNITED SOCIALIST STATES OF AMERICA: Maryland Transportation Police Pulled Over Unarmed Concealed Carry Owner, Only to Ask for His Gun

Maryland_Transportation_Authority_PoliceA Florida man was traveling South with his family on the way home from a wedding in New Jersey when the Maryland Transportation Authority Police (MTAP) began tailing his Ford Expedition. After about 10 minutes, the police pulled him over and told him they knew he owned a gun. They demanded he produce it for them on the spot — even though the firearm was locked away in a safe 1,000 miles away.

John Filippidis of Hudson, Fla., told The Tampa Tribune he wasn’t speeding or doing anything illegal when the cops took an interest in his car. In fact, he’d intentionally left his Kel-Tec .38 pistol locked up at home precisely because he understood the potential legal headaches that can arise when traveling through multiple State jurisdictions with a firearm.
“I know the laws and I know the rules,” he said. “But I just think it’s a better idea to leave it home.”
So when the Maryland police pulled him over, they took his license and registration back to the patrol cruiser, then returned to the car and ordered him to get out. Here’s the Tribune’s narrative:
Ten minutes later he’s back, and he wants John out of the Expedition. Retreating to the space between the SUV and the unmarked car, the officer orders John to hook his thumbs behind his back and spread his feet. “You own a gun,” the officer says. “Where is it?”
“At home in my safe,” John answers.
“Don’t move,” says the officer.
Now he’s at the passenger’s window. “Your husband owns a gun,” he says. “Where is it?”
First Kally [John’s wife] says, “I don’t know.” Retelling it later she says, “And that’s all I should have said.” Instead, attempting to be helpful, she added, “Maybe in the glove
. Maybe in the console. I’m scared of it. I don’t want to have anything to do with it. I might shoot right through my foot.”
