What about insurance to speak, write and express yourself per the 1st amendment ?

 

[eruby]

I'd be surprised if this doesn't pass

Looks like time for more broken fingers, elbow titt, and ejections

Fvck these people

Does it apply to LEOSA?

If not, then why not?

I’m so glad I have less than a year left on my prison sentence in this gulag.

My kids have two years of HS left. Can’t wait to get out of this place.

New Jersey has tried this; already enjoined by Judge Bumb there.

Federal judge blocks more of New Jersey's new gun law • New Jersey Monitor

Gun rights advocates celebrated the latest ruling as a huge win. Attorney General Matt Platkin called it "devastating for public safety."

I guess my self defense Insurance through USCCA won’t get it done.

 

[Tebonski]

Yep, from the political party of slavery, starting the civil war and Jim Crow. One thing we know for certain, maryland democrats would never use the law to harass illegal aliens, convicted criminals imprisoned for life without parole and Baltimore carjackers wearing ankle bracelets.

 

[CrueChief]

Which one of these legislators can point to the "need" for this sort of thing? How does this even enhance public safety which they say is their priority? Other than prevent poor minority residents of Baltimore City from carrying.

 

[Muleskinner]

Nope ..

You're assuming they care about public safety........they don't.

 

[CrueChief]

You're assuming they care about public safety........they don't.

But but but but it's their rallying cry with these sort of bills. Of course I know they don't care about public safety. Several have probably been on record saying as much.

If you opted for liability coverage it may.

If you already have 300k on your Renters, Condo or Homeowners policy it may as well.

I have found no exclusion on standard insurance forms that exclude negligent consequences of firearms use such as NDs.

I have never handled nor seen such a case, but if not specifically excluded, it’s included.

Criminal acts are excluded for instance.

Unconstitutional ********. It won’t stand.

I’ll have to look into that, thanks !

Does it apply to LEOSA?

If not, then why not?

As written, it applies to law enforcement and security personnel.

None.

No requirement to carry insurance for murder, rape, robbery.

“…intentional acts..” may be excluded from home policy. Don‘t know for sure.

I have CCWsafe liability, but not one of my waterfowl hunting buddies do. What about out of state hunters who book hunts on the Eastern Shore? Or my brother from Georgia who comes up every Thanksgiving to go duck hunting with me? What about my neighbor who inherited 2 Parker shotguns from his father—they will never leave his living room again, he has to buy insurance?
Nuts…
