    To me it means, I want to protect myself and my family at any time.
    No member of the government can do it, so I will.

    If it has any meaning to any of us, then we've bought into the State of Maryland's illegal use of the term. As to the RKBA, there is no such thing as 'good and substantial' reason.

    So to me, it means nothing.

    G&S SHOULD mean self defense and all legal purposes.

    Although the entire phrase should be stricken from MD law, if I had to be pinned down, the above is very close to correct.

    The word "good" as a possible reasoning for anything is ridiculous.

    G&S is a means by which the state can subvert our 2A rights and deny our ability to carry while simultaneously getting federal courts to agree it doesn't violate our Constitutional rights.

    easy.

    If you're GOOD friends with someone well connected in a position of power or you carry SUBSTANTIAL amounts of cash or prescriptions, you have a chance at CCW in MD.

    +1,if someone wants an agency to protect them,fine.I'd rather protect myself and my family than rely on someone else to do it.You know that whole thing about when seconds count or the court ruling about the police having no duty to protect thing.

    I hated this phrase when I was a kid, but now as an adult and a parent, it makes perfect sense; "Because I said so."

    G&S is code for liberals have denied your God given and Constitutionally affirmed right to self protection.
