I'm certified in Georgia as a Police Officer; what lead to getting stopped in Maryland? Where was the weapon in the vehicle while you were transporting it? Did the Officer have probable cause to believe that evidence related to another crime existed in the vehicle (this would allow them to search w/o your consent)? Did you consent to search?
I'm sure you already know but, expunged doesn't mean it won't show up in future inquiries.
Send me a pm if you don't want to discuss it publicly. I'm just curious with your situation.
