Maryland Beckerheads

Roll Call!

Just curious as to how many Beckerheads are living in Maryland or nearby.

I’m in Halethorpe, MD near the new Guinness Brewery.

Southwest Baltimore County

Yep, right outside DC for me. District Heights, PG County.

South Central PA here, about 30 miles north of the MD border. One thing I've wondered about with MD knife laws, since it's illegal to carry a bowie knife on or about the person, I assume one wouldn't want to be caught with a BK9 "Combat Bowie"?

Welcome. I would imagine you are correct at least in public. Camping you may be fine. iDK

Eastern Shore. You guys are all on the wrong side of the Bay

And technically I’m not an official Beckerhead. I’m just a long time denizen of the Becker forum with a big pile of Becker knives and a lack of any good reason why I haven’t gotten off my butt to get official

Nice looking place to live. Ive only done a few jobs there as well as driven through it but i do envy you for living there.

side note, i visited tangiers before moving out west. Interesting place they have there, at least until its swallowed by the bay. Its worth visiting if you havent.

I guess I should clarify that I'm not official either lol. I mainly lurk on the forums while deciding on possible mods or future knife purchases. I do love my Becker's though, all 15 of them, so far.

With the usual caveat that I am not a lawyer and nothing I say should be construed as legal advice...

A bowie (meeting the state's definition of "weapon") is only illegal if you carry it concealed.
