RedactedNarrative: On 10/29/2015 at approximately 10AM, I was dispatched to a boat fire on Eastern Bay near Bennett Point.  As I made my way to the Kent Narrows boats, Cpl. stated that he and Ofc. were on location and asked that I go by land to Claiborne, MD.  Deputy stated that the subject has a concealed carry permit from TX and he had subject’s gun.  It was taken from Subject by Sgt. of the sherriffs dept around 10:36 and handed to Deputy around 11:04.  I took possession of a Kel-Tec P3AT .380 Auto at 11:22AM.  I then spoke to Subject.  Subject stated he had purchased the vessel from a Stanley a couple days ago. He stated he had left Miles River Yacht Club around 8:30AM.  He was making his way around to another marina when the boat caught fire.  He stated that he had been having engine trouble prior to taking it out.  He was taking it to a different marina to have the vessel removed from the water.  Subject stated he put a lifejacket on when he noticed the fire.  He ended up going over board and used a coller to help him swim to shore.  Talbot County Fire and EMS were dispatched and tried to put the fire out.  The vessel burned down to the waterline.  Subject stated he was supposed to be heading back to Texas around 3:30 that day.  He also stated that he had another gun on board the vessel, a Taurus 9MM, along with the bill of sale and title of the vessel.  Per my Lt., I returned the Kel-Tec P3AT to Subject and made him aware that Maryland does not recognize any other states Concealed Carry Permit.  Subject was told that he will be responsible for getting the rest of the vessel out of the water.  He was released to Talbot Dept of EMS.  He was going to be taken to the pick-up location for the airport shuttle.
