      Castle doctrine question

      Maryland is a common law jurisdiction. That means case law outlining the castle doctrine is the law of the state. The castle doctrine, like every other self defense doctrine, only applies to imminent threats of serious bodily harm or death. Imminent means immediate, as in happening right here...

      MD wear and carry renewal classes

      Anyone know of any wear and carry renewal classes in, around, or at least closer to the Frederick area? I'm ok with doing the initial 16 hour class but only really need the 8 hour renewal. Thanks.

      HOW to APPLY for a MARYLAND Carry Permit

      Teratos-I'm totally not disagreeing with you. With that said there is a legal requirement that all administrative agencies act in a way that is not arbitrary or capricious. I'll purposely use an extreme example to illustrate the point. The Secretary would likely get judicially overruled as...

      HOW to APPLY for a MARYLAND Carry Permit

      That's true, sort of. Even where state and federal administrative agencies maintain broad discretionary authority, their decisions cannot be "arbitrary or capricious." That partially the justification for the rules governing publishing administrative regulations, like COMAR. Agencies are...

      I'm quite frankly, completely puzzled how they are denying carry permits to doctors. The application lists doctors as a category of applicant with "good and substantial" reasons to apply and receive a permit. The standard set forth on the application is proof of licensing and legitimacy of...

      W.Va. Teen Arrested After 'Almost Inciting Riot' Wearing NRA Shirt to School

      Don't be so sure. The ACLU has a pretty good track record litigating on issues similar to this one. There were the black band cases in the 60s. In 2006, the ACLU of filed a lawsuit and won against the North Central Regional Library District in Washington state for its policy of refusing to...

      Urgent! New Violence Policy Center Study

      What irritates me though is the double-standard on display in analyzing the results of their own study. Miniscule crime numbers are cited to support banning guns rarely used in crimes. However, statistics that reveal that guns have been used in self-defense situations over 60-70 thousand times a...

      Urgent! New Violence Policy Center Study

      I'm actually quite stunned by this report. I try to keep an open mind but the conclusions drawn are way off base. They discuss ratios when all I can think of is, wow the number of people who used a firearm each year for protection is extremely high! Especially when you take into consideration...
