I think Hogan has to do something for us in THIS term or he will loose some of the support he needs to win a second term. Ehrlich made that mistake and it cost him!

No misunderstanding. She applied under self-defense and included the police report of the incident. The interviewing trooper told her that MSP did not issue permits for "crimes of opportunity" and that she should brings business ownership paperwork and deposit slips to her in person interview.
And then we got MOM. Brilliant..
And Ehrlich starved to death...oh wait no...he just got on with his life and we got taxed for rain.
Hum. I think maybe it cost us more than it cost him..
Hogan is not going to win in 2018 if the senate election is any indication of the mindset of central Maryland dems...
The business receipts must be protected.so she cant get one because it was a crime of opportunity. but being robbed with your business receipts is what exactly?
It's inconsequential. The results of the 2016 election mirror the 2012 election closely. See the State's election results. Not much different.

Hogan won in MD partly for the same reason Trump won nationally; low Dem turnout.
~900k people didn't vote in MD in 2014, but they did in 2012 and 2016.
Any ordinary citizen applying
for license could be "factually" denied a permit because no one had
actually threatened him. Thus, he would have no "need" to defend
himself. Similarly, if threatened, the permit could be denied on
the basis that the official police agencies were capable of
handling the matter so that he had no "need" to defend himself.
Schubert v. Debard
If an applicant is denied a carry permit, and the attendant capacity to defend him/her self, then doesn't the responsibility to protect that person revert to the MSP? Doesn't the denial in effect create a "special relationship" with law enforcement rougly comparable to the relationship and responsibility addressed by various courts with reference to incarcerated persons and persons involuntarily committed to a mental health facility? I know this is an expansion of a prior interpretation, but might it not an approach worth pursuing?
The import of this would be that the MSP, and by association the State of Maryland, would be financially liable for costs, losses and damages incurred by the injured party.
I doubt it works but love the thought process.If an applicant is denied a carry permit, and the attendant capacity to defend him/her self, then doesn't the responsibility to protect that person revert to the MSP?

I don't think even a drunk MD Judge would except that interpretation. But hey outside the box thinking like that is what might be needed to advance the ball here, and after all gets the lawyers at least thinking about cashing in both ways.
A little over ten years ago the thought of widely accepted same gender marriage, let alone the notion that this would be deemed to be a constitutionally protected right, was considered a fantasy. What moved it forward was ongoing public agitation that led to legal challenges. As is generally the case, private opoinion is followed by public opinion. Public opinion is expanded by public agitation. This leads to the emergence of informal policy. Legal challenges lead to clarification of formal policy reflected in legal rulings. That private opinion now enjoys the privilege of formal legal status. That's generally how it works.
The premis that there are essentially two sources of personal protection--the individual and the state--and if the state forecloses the individual's ability to protect him/her self and loved ones, then primary responsibility falls to the state shouldn't be a stretch at all.
I greatly appreciate and benefit from the wisdom and competence displayed by members of this community. I also note a general reticence to engage in high visibiity broad based public action on behalf of our values and principles. This is where the left has dominated. Their domination has contributed to the advancement of the process I outlined above, which has led to the advancement of their ideas and values as we have seen.
We are ill-served by assuming that state houses are our only arena of action, and that law suits are our primary effective tool. They are useful at the latter stages of a campaign, not as the tip of the spear. This is one lesson we will hopefully take away from the victories of the left. We have the terrain; we simply need to mobilize the troops. (Have you seen the national map showing the voting majorities by county? Astounding.)
SCOTUS has already ruled that LEOs have no duty to protect individual 'Mericans.
