I would like your opinions on a thought that I have been pondering. Maryland law (Legislature) says that our 2A rights are not being violated because of the Fourteenth Amenment, by giving the Attorney General and State Police the power to deny CCW permits. I am referring to Maryland being a "may issue", versus a "shall issue" state.
Well, I think it is violating our rights. It violates the Second Amendment and the Fourteenth.
Section. 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. ; No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United Statesnor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
I would like to see something like the DC vs. Parker case in Maryland challenging the 14A. The Fourteenth Amendment gaurantees the right to keep and bear arms against state regulations just as the Second Amendment does against regulations by the national government.
