YAYYYYYYYYYYYYY =D
You forgot the operative clause here.
Plaintiffs are seeking a permanent injunction against enforcement of the Maryland provision that requires permit applicants to “demonstrate cause” for the issuance of a carry permit.
I'm going to ask this for the legal heads here...why did the SAF sue the Superintendent of State Police, and members of the review board? Technically, they DID abridge the plaintiff from exercise of his rights, and I'm not sure if that bodes better for us, instead of direct suit of the state.
My thinking is, the criteria for permit issuance is set by the MSP Superintendent, and obviously, the review boards denial of appeal are the direct result of the Superintendent's requirements. Does this mean, that the "political appointee's subjective criteria" is more easily scrutinized in the eyes of the court, thus the reasoning behind the direct suit of those individuals?

WOOT!!!! This is by far the best bet for shall issue in MD, and ALL OF US need to get behind this in a big way. We kinda hit the lottery by MD being targeted, as the decision will apply directly to everyone here(and hopefully for MD non-res permits too)
sent some loot to SAF, hopefully I can afford to become a lifer in a paycheck or two, and send them some more, and it's been too long since I have sent loot to MSI. If MD wins this, and we lose, then there is almost nothing that will overturn the precedent, so it kinda cuts both ways, so WE MUST WIN, I am sure Gura picked a good case, but the chance for us to be part of turning MD shall issue is golden, and we need to be on board.
I knew there was a reason I sent them money last month... Now it's time to go to church.
By the way, folks, if the other attorney listed in that article sounds familiar, it should:

Mr. Hansel's card sits on my desk as a reminder that he's fighting for each and every one of us. I liked him when we first met and I really, really like him now!
As for MSI, the organization has always stepped up to the plate. Double or triple our membership and grass-roots Maryland becomes that more influential in Annapolis.
