Do you want to live in America, or in a socialist republic?
Maryland has some lovely scenery, the Eastern Shore, Camden Yards in Baltimore, and some nice people. It's also completely dominated by statist thugs.
Virginia ain't paradise, but we have the same Chesapeake, we have the Northern Neck, the Shenandoah . . . and we've got good firearms laws. As for permits, the Commonwealth is a shall-issue state with absolutely bare-minimum training requirements, which is as it should be. Effective this Thursday, you can carry concealed in restaurants that serve alcohol (with a CHL, of course).
Oh, and speaking of that new law, Virginia has the VCDL.

ETA: Nick's suggestion re: West Virginia is also a viable option. I work in downtown DC and many of my colleagues commute from West Virginia.
