    Default MD Federal Court Declares "May Issue" Concealed Carry Law Unconstitutional

    http://marylandshallissue.org/share/...rd_Opinion.pdf

    The court found that:

    • the right to bear arms is not limited to the home, and


    • the "substantial or good reason" requirement of the MD permit law was "not reasonably adapted to a substantial government interest" and therefore "impermissibly infringes the right to keep and bear arms, guaranteed by the Second Amendment."

    Waiting for the left to appeal... (not really, just a hint of sarcasm there).

    On another note, Does that mean someone can sue NJ, that their permit law is illegal?

    Federal district courts in NJ, IL, TX, and other states have already ruled that the 2nd Amendment only applies in the home. This is the first decision after Heller I'm aware of that says otherwise.

    As far as I know, no appellate court has ruled on that issue yet.

    Thumbs up Re: MD Federal Court Declares "May Issue" Concealed Carry Law Unconstitutional

    Take a poll:

    A federal judge ruled that Maryland's law requiring applicants for permits to carry a handgun to demonstrate "good and substantial reason" violates the Second Amendment. Do you agree?

    Voted! We should all make our voice heard and help with the visibility of this matter! Glad that they have at least one judge that remembers the 2A!

    It's switched around to 52-47 now-- a lot of people voted No recently. A lot.
