THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT State files plan to appeal gun-carry ruling
April 02, 2012|By Tricia Bishop, The Baltimore Sun The Maryland attorney general's office filed a notice Monday in federal court outlining plans to appeal a recent ruling that significantly widens access to gun-carry permits throughout the state. The ruling, which strikes down a portion of Maryland's gun laws as unconstitutional, has been stayed until the judge in the case can consider whether to require its enforcement while the appeal is under way. U.S. District Judge Benson E. Legg has asked for briefs on the matter from both sides: the state, which represents those who oversee Maryland's handgun permitting and attorneys for the Second Amendment Foundation, a gun-rights advocacy group, and Raymond Woollard, a Baltimore County man who sued after he was denied a permit renewal. In an order filed Friday, Legg laid out a schedule for the legal filings that stretches into May, meaning it could be summer before a decision is reached and any meaningful changes to state law implemented. He also clarified his original ruling, issued March 5, to make it clear that the order was intended to expressly prohibit the enforcement of a state requirement that handgun-carry applicants have "good and substantial" reasons for their application. "A citizen may not be required to offer a 'good and substantial reason' why he should be permitted to exercise his rights," Legg wrote in a 23-page opinion accompanying the March ruling. "The right's existence is all the reason he needs." Gun proponents praised the decision, claiming it would bring Maryland policies in line with most other states and could help deter crime. Gun opponents decried it however, predicting a surge in criminal activity and street shootouts. The Maryland State Police, which grants gun carry permits, has said it will not change the process until the courts reach a conclusion. WTF is a gun proponent and a gun opponent? Who the fuck writes this stuff? You have Pro-Rights people and Anti-Rights people. |

This is going to get good. The first moron that shoots themselves in the leg in the inner harbor will be on the news for years as a display of "this is why the streets run red with blood".

Try to flush some of your NOVA libs north across the Potomac to make a little room for those of us escaping the occupied zone. Open carry seems to get them all antsy so telling them they will NEVER see a gun in Bethesda puts an actionable thought in their little heads. |

Sorry Guys, after spending 49 years in Md., I had enough and moved to Florida a few months back. Freedom is very sweet indeed, I actually walked into a gun shop, layed down some cash and walked out with a brand new handgun. It took all of 10 minutes. It took 10 days to get a CWP after changing my residency.
I had a permit in Maryland several years ago, can you believe it, but each renewal was harder and harder. I finally gave it up because it was such a hassle and the restrictions were ridiculous. I'll be praying for you guys and doing what I can to assure you get back your god given rights to self preservation and freedom. Oh BTW Montgomery County, you can kiss my ass |

In the first week there will be a Trayvon a day. The first one will die at the hands of a 68 yo Black woman named Opal who directs the choir at Blessed Rock of Salvation Gospel Tabernacle. The next will be at a bus stop on Park Heights Avenue. Horace Brown will be on his way to his job at the SSA when he plugs a 16 yo boy. By the end of the week, a White man in Parkville will get around to putting three slugs into the junkie stealing his lawn mower out of the shed and then it will be on. Jesse, Al, Obongo, the NBPP and Katy Couric will decend on Baltimore with a fury and put a stop to this murderous new law. |
