Leaving aside the fact Federal courts have no say in what the MD Constitution allows, I am pretty sure MD will never be a shall issue state in my lifetime. I am resided to the fact that I will have to move to enjoy the right of CC.
Incorporation doesn't exist legally, only in the synthetic and fony premise that the SCOTUS can create powers that are not written. According to the SCOTUS (and not article 3 of the US Constitution) SCOTUS can make the Federal vonstitution apply to and override the several States' constitutions per the 14th amendment in the second clause. This is all made up from nowhere with powers that do not exist. Over the years this has been taught as fact, thus it has become mainstream.
I put this rant on here only to demonstrate that the Federal government can't outside of it's written constitutional powers, assign anything to or from the states. Whether you are pro or anti CC is not of importance. What is important is limiting the Federal government's overreach and then, eventually, the state's.
