Even if SCOTUS were to rule in the favor of Citizen's Rights, MGA would try anything they could to restrict the Right to Bear Arms. Chris
That is my big fear. They have all ready eliminated carry in state parks and the city of Baltimore doesn’t allow carry in city parks (Including the inner harbor) and have BS laws about carrying around churches. I could see the state of MD doing something similar to DC and making carrying a firearm so inconvienient and risky that it won’t be worth it.
IMO, it is not true that DC has so many restrictions it makes carry useless. Other than the federal bldgs and mall, carry is no more restrictive than most states. You can carry in restaurants and in many public places unless posted.
There was an incorrectly quoted law in a news article by John Lott that showed the impossibility of legal carry. It was proven to be a misinterpretation of a statute that had enhanced penalties for felons, etc.
That doesn't mean MD won't try. I agree with that.
