In Maryland, openly carrying a firearm is generally not permitted in any circumstance. The state law is quite restrictive regarding the open carry of firearms. This means that individuals cannot display firearms in public places, making option D the correct choice. The other options suggest varying levels of permission for open carry with or without a permit or for law enforcement. However, Maryland's laws do not allow for open carry, irrespective of obtaining a permit or the status of the carrier. Therefore, understanding this aspect of Maryland law clarifies that open carry is prohibited across the board.
