The law does apply equally to all citizens- if you are a citizen that meets the criteria, you get a permit, otherwise you don't.
If the second amendment were held to be an individual right, you would probably litigate directly from that point. Based on my limited understanding of constitutional law, anyway. |

Update:
Contact: Doug Gross [email protected] Since there have been conjectures that CCW in Maryland may be a little less impossible under the administration of Maryland's new governor, Montgomery Citizens for a Safer Maryland (MCSM, a pro-self-defense, pro-gun-rights club in Montgomery County, Maryland; www.mcsm.org) started out with the idea that a few MCSM members would undertake the application process, and MCSM would help in this by giving them some funds, about $65 each, to help take the bite out of the non-refundable application cost that now stands at about $117. MCSM now has some members who have decided to participate in this, and MCSM has been contacted about a number of people who possibly would like to try also. These new people are more than we can provide financial help for, but, there will be a benefit for them too, in that one or more excellent legal counselors have kindly made themselves available to contribute general expertise and advice to the applicants. This will be arranged in a way that is designed to avoid hitting the counselors hard, time-wise, and its preferred form will be a get-together of (1) the counselors with (2) as many of the applicants whose schedule will fit. At this meeting, two important things will go on. One, the counselors will be able to distribute as much good advice in one meeting as possible, and (two) the participants will get a complete idea of how an important part of their job, in turn, is to log the progress, events, interactions, and impressions of their respective application experiences. This is so that the data - the "collective saga", if you will - of what the participants go through can be made into a presentation and, very presumably, a "plea for change" that should be fit for taking to the highest levels of Maryland's government. |
