SB1 (2023) - Criminal Law - Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting Firearms - Restrictions (Gun Safety Act of 2023)

[swinokur]

Yes I believe it is telling that even MSP noted they are not exempt from this pile of dung

A simple Amendment will make some of us more equal than others.

 

[MD Shooter Envy]

Here is testimony from Public Defender office and MSP. Doesn’t seem like a ringing endorsement either

MSP also forgot permits issued with G&S for the protection of houses of Worship

Public Defender letter doesn't know the difference between "verses" and "versus".

Napoleon the pig approves

Mmmmhmmm, bacon

 

[Pax]

A simple Amendment will make some of us more equal than others.

It will be interesting to see how they filter everyone into a different category, with a separate set of rules, guidelines and associated penalties.

True but you know you must be a dumbass when you write a commie bill, as a commie, and get the public defender, the commie ACLU and the commie state cops (admin level people before some people get upset) all coming out against you (sort of).

Yeah. It’s a small victory, but doesn’t do a damn thing about carry restrictions. You STILL won’t be able to carry anywhere.

MSP is a bit harsher.

These bastards are not against the law, just against the penalty....

They don't like the idea of Black Marylanders being searched by police.

Presumably the rest of us can suck it. Happy to take our permits and rights.

Still, there's substantial pushback; ACLU, Public Defenders, even MSP(!)

MSP's objections - where have we seen these brought up?:

"Senate Bill 1 expands the list of restricted areas to almost everywhere but the firearm
owner’s residence. However, the legislation does not exempt public safety personnel such as
police officers both on and off duty, police officers from other states within Maryland on official
business, active military personnel, security guards, private detectives, federal contractors,
correctional officers, special agents of the railroad, armored car personnel, or special police
officers.
The legislation doesn’t consider those permit holders who received a wear and carry
permit for a “good and substantial reason” prior to the issuance of the Bruen decision. As an
example, judges, state’s attorneys, victims of crime or domestic violence, and legislators to
name a few, have applied for and received handgun permits due to direct threats against their
lives. There are thousands or permit holders who received a permit for business purposes who
transport money, bonds, or precious jewels."

The good news is, there cannot be restrictions on permits.

 

[RFBfromDE]

The MSP wants to be exempt and have input on restricting rights.

Not our friends.

 

[MigraineMan]

The MSP wants to be exempt and have input on restricting rights.

Not our friends.

Saul Alinsky says, "MSP opposes SB-1"

 

[Bob A]

The good news is, there cannot be restrictions on permits.

Obviously still galls them.

Tough.

 

[Occam]

Not our friends.

The Frenemy of our Enemy is our End.

The Frenemy of our Enemy is our End.

Be careful conflating Enemy with Enema. Meanies =/= Ends.

So "Special People" will be exempt.

 

[Bob A]

So "Special People" will be exempt.

That's how it works in the (Special) People's Republic.

 

[Occam]

So "Special People" will be exempt.

No, no, no. Just more equal, citizen.

 

[Blacksmith101]

Equal Justice?

 

[MJD438]

Equal Justice?

In Maryland...the MGA doesn't care.
