Exactly. I'm pretty sure someone else came up with the "vampire" terminology - probably in this thread somewhere.
The "dwelling" clause may not impact you directly, but it does impact people who carry and go to other people's homes as a part of their job. Electricians, plumbers, realtors...
Neither the NRA nor the MSI suit go after the "dwelling" portion of the law.

There seems to be a reason why the Vampire clause is sticking around since both suits ignore it, but I'm not keen on understanding why. Is this because it is effectively a trespassing law? I'm not sure...
Gotta love that Samuel Levy (Everytown legal counsel) is in these pictures. He couldn't bother to travel down from NYC for his testimonies, but he can make the trip for the photo op. He shouldn't even be in there - he isn't a Maryland resident in the slightest way.
So they've run out of money. Supposedly they're going to get more, but progress is at a stand still for this reason.
$20k so far given out.

Picture of the votes:
Del Young certainly acted like he voted against the bill when he talked about how his district is the one where the murders are, but after that grand-standing he certainly decided that he should put his constituents in jail if they walk to the...
If they can't do it in 11.5 hours, I would bet they could pass a bill explicitly changing the date of tomorrow so they could work out any details.
I think that will depend a lot on the prosecutor and how they interpret the law. It is not clear cut at this moment - especially given that the...
Absolutely true here. Permission has to be universal, otherwise it is a denial even if you are one of the owner's - not even considering the idea of leases here.
The idea that personal property needs EXTRA SPECIAL DOUBLE PROTECTION just from firearms is outrageous. I contend that if this were...
Bartlett.
Anyone know the specifics of this case? Who was the murderer? Did they have a permit? I never heard her talk about specifics other than it was a house "across the street" from her.
I think it seems we are in agreement here: existing trespassing laws cover all of the rights a property owner needs, and getting the state to give special treatment of an otherwise legal item as SB1 does is bad in numerous ways.
Can we ban people from possessing marijuana on private property? Alcohol? Meat? Where are the limits here?
Let's be clear: this isn't a trespassing law. It's a law on top of trespassing that can be asserted by the state without the owner pressing charges.
It's not a bug. It's a feature.
On the plus side: it'll be a feature that gets courts to act with immediacy. That's assuming that the House and Senate can reconcile this bill, which is looking less and less likely as the "practicalities" of it are exposed.
But does Bass Pro own that location? Or are they leasing it? Does Simon Property Group decide or Bass Pro? How many other locations like this might have that same problem?
Can property owners divide the property up into "carry allowed" and "carry not allowed" zones?
You would have to wonder: is Bass Pro at Arundel Mills going to be able to say that they allow the carry of guns if the rest of the mall decides it doesn't?
