Default Open carry in MD?!

So I was coming back from my parents place today in Maryland and we stopped at Wawa to grab some lunch. As I walked in I immediately noticed a clean cut man in a button down shirt, and slacks OCing. No badge, no armored car... nothing. Just a regular looking citizen. My first assumption is he was one of the lucky few in MD with a LTCF's...

I racked my brain on possible MD OC laws and came up with

"Error 404 File not found
The law you requested was not found"

You get the point... Any ideas on who this man could have been and why he was OCing in MD?

Was is the owner/manager of Wawa? Do they allow people to carry openly in their place of employment like we do here?

Probation officers in my area often dress like that and OC.

Some LEOs will dress in jeans, t-shirt, no badge, and OC.

I like this more than OC with a badge though, at least in PA, as it's just mere open carry.

I'd really doubt someone who got one of the Maryland "holy handgun permits" would OC there.

I'm guessing store manager perhaps. Yes us peons in MD can OC or CC on the premises of our business, or with permission of the owner if you are an employee. Also on our own property and in our homes. And any property you lease/rent. Oh and while hunting or trapping, but I haven't been able to find anything on wearing a handgun for hunting/trapping LOADED and holstered while about in the field walking around checking traps or searching for whatever game you are hunting- the statute is worded so oddly.

Otherwise, your guess is as good as mine. Though when I went to pick up my XD9, this guy walked into the gun store with his IWB OCing, and he did not work there. I am guessing he was a collector who got a carry lisc to use when bringing his guns to and from shows and the like, and the 2 rifles he had with him were perhaps of this collection in question and he was stretching the limits of his lisc a little for either the gunsmith or to see if the dealer wanted to buy the 2 guns. It was nuts crowded in there, so no chance to be all relaxed and casually ask him.

The holy handgun carry lisc of MD actually does not say concealed only, so OC is actually allowed with it, but I understand it is quite discouraged.

I just came back from MD and left all my firearms home. Maryland, New Jersey, New York just forget about it I would not even think about carry
