Is open carry of handguns permitted in Maryland?

  1. Yes, without any permit

  2. Yes, with a permit

  3. No, under any circumstances

  4. Only for law enforcement

The correct answer is: Yes, with a permit

Option C is incorrect because as mentioned before, open carry is allowed with a permit. Option D is also incorrect because open carry is not restricted only to law enforcement, but to anyone with a valid permit. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
