The Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association (“MSRPA”) has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari in the United States Supreme Court in our case challenging the unconstitutional Maryland restrictions on carrying a handgun outside the home for self-defense, Malpasso v. Pallozzi.* MSRPA and its attorneys believe strongly that Maryland’s permitting scheme is flatly contrary to the Supreme Court’s holding in Heller and cannot survive under the Second Amendment.* We are pleased to welcome the former Solicitor General of the United States, Paul Clement, as lead counsel for our petition. Mr. Clement brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our case, and is considered by many to be one of the best Supreme Court advocates, having argued over 90 cases before the Court.
A copy of the filing is attached below and may also be found at the following link:*https://www.msrpa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/2019.09.26-Malpasso-Cert-Petition-FINAL.pdf.
MSRPA wishes to acknowledge the support of the National Rifle Association, without which this litigation would not be possible.
