A Maryland administrative law judge generally should not substitute his or her discretion for an agency’s factual decision, as long as the agency applied the correct law. In other words, if the agency being reviewed did not misinterpret the governing statute, the agency’s decision will stand, assuming there is substantial evidence in the record to support the decision and the decision is not based upon an error of law. In addition, more deference will be given to an agency’s fact-findings than to an agency’s legal conclusions.

The Handgun Permit Review Board has applied its discretion when reviewing facts to determine whether the MSP ruled correctly on the law. Advocates of the bill make a lot of hay over keeping this decision solely in the hands of the MSP, but why would a responsible review board disagree often with the MSP, unless it had good reason to do so?

We also observe that we can find no cases in which a concealed handgun permit holder committed an illegal act of violence with his or her pistol. That is due to a combination of proper vetting of applicants by the MSP, the applicants’ level of responsibility and the quality of the board’s reviews since 1990.

No first-hand knowledge, but I’ve heard through the grapevine that the chair of the Daily Record Editorial Board is very pro-2A.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit from that editorial. I would love to post up the rest of it but I think it's a MDS to copy and paste entire articles.
