Well, this is good news. So what should I buy?

zoostation · Feb 25, 2017

Sound like Howard County has repealed theirs and Baltimore City is getting ready to and waving a white flag in the meantime. That speaks to how poor they felt their cases for defense were. Usually democrats are always prepared to happily throw away millions of dollars of others people's money to defend weapons control laws.

Wonder how this affects Baltimore County. They were part of that suit too IIRC.

And finally, this is awful because I should know this, but did Harford County's ban ever get repealed? I know they had a demoncratic councilman sneak one in some years ago and not sure if it ever get repealed or not.

FrankOceanXray · Feb 25, 2017

Yes, stand alone thread xovering it. 4-1 in favor of repeal,

That is, knew they were wrong, snuck it in with lies and feeble minded followers and finallyy got called out only to spare themselves some shame.

Good to see common sense is starting to take hold.

I believe it was after the public outcry when that middle-of-the-aisle vendor in the Harford Mall got in trouble for selling them.

Last I heard, Kommienuts wanted to fight it. Hope he gets them handed to him.

There are also Analpolis and Ocean City with ECD bans.

Mr H · Feb 28, 2017

Analpolis has caved, admitting the ban is likely Unconstitutional. Baltimore City sounds to be next.

Now that "bearable arms" have standing, I can only hope this rationale can be turned back around and used for carry of firearms...

I've got an email from Scott Shellenberger (BalCo SA) from July that says that he and Mike Field (another attorney for the county) agreed that they had to stop enforcing that law following the SCOTUS decision.

Good to hear.

Anyone have anything for OCMD? Not finding any info.

brownspotz · Feb 28, 2017

my take is... here's your crumb. you can use tasers which are less than lethal and now you can defend yourself.. so why do you need to carry a firearm? we gave you a way to defend yourself...

Mr H · Feb 28, 2017

Well, I say it's either CC, or tons of folks with Batman Utility Belts with pepper, taser, sheath knife, cell phones and handcuffs...

DC-W · Feb 28, 2017

The law is still on the books in BaltCo though. Residents are still unable to lawfully purchase a taser.
(psssst, this plaintiff would know

)

I fear you may be correct

Unfortunately, I believe you are correct.

GTOGUNNER · Feb 28, 2017

Of course Maryland has already said that. We have open carry of long guns.

Abacab · Feb 28, 2017

Baltimore County is historically one of the most anti-gun counties in the state. They'll drag this out. They always do.

aray · Feb 28, 2017

Why did the lawsuit not pick up Annapolis and Ocean City initially as well?

I didn't know that Baltimore County was a party to a Taser suit at this point. More details have to be somewhere around here?

I haven't been in a rush to go get one, but if push every came to shove, I imagine an email from the SA saying they weren't enforcing it would be the end of matters. Still, I'd love to see the law off the books. :thumbsup:
