SAF to sue Walkersville?

Good

This will open a new front with local governments.

Pay attention Baltimore, MoCo and PG!

Walkersville? Really? I had no idea they had restrictions, and were opposed to changing them. Go get 'em 2AF. It's low hanging fruit, but it is attention to MD.

Mount Airy doesn't allow shooting firearms, air rifles, (unless shooting steel bbs), or compound bows except for LEos or if you are defending your home.

I have a yard full of ground hogs that would hate to see that law go.

See what MD has become.....and this is considered Western MD. People still think Frederick Co. would join in succession????? Where do you think Ron Young is from??

Ignorance comes in all forms. ****ing po-dunk walkersville. I hope they sue the ever loving shit out of them.

I can't think of anything better than seeing those smug a-holes lose a lawsuit.

So what's the date of the Walkerville ordance ? Is SAF seeking conplience with State Preemption or taking on a grandgathered ordance on pure 2A grounds ?

I wonder if it will be done on the grounds that they are violating the right of Equal Protection under the law. The law can't exempt certain categories of citizens from exercising a right.

Kneejerk ordinance to target the Eminem wannabes in Discovery?

democrats.

at least get the DINOs in

That is why I think it has never been challenged.

Obviously they don't know who they are dealing with.
