Now that the libtards have abolished recourse, they will re-instate near-impossible standards for CCW. I suspected that this was the plan all along when business owners were suddenly allowed to get an unrestricted permit.
Not sure how this is any different than the bs rubber stamp HPRB that has been in effect for the last few months.
Who is our (MSI's) or Maryland's Rosa Parks? We need someone who was denied a carry permit to have standing to file a lawsuit right? What does that lawsuit cost to make it's way to the supreme court?
If Hogan had balls like Trump , i would say for him to remove G&S and tell the Super to remove that where all could get permits .

Maryland’s Democratic-majority legislature on Thursday reversed five of Republican Gov. Larry Hogan’s vetoes, flexing the political strength that has consistently diluted the governor’s power and influence.
After debate that was at times personal, lawmakers reinstated legislation that controls when employers can ask about a job applicant’s criminal history and abolishes a citizen board that reviews concealed handgun permits.
The General Assembly also overrode Hogan’s veto of an expansion of the state’s Dream Act, which grants in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants, and restored a new way to manage the rebounding oyster population in the Chesapeake Bay.

In the most high-profile veto, the governor objected to a plan to give administrative law judges, rather than a politically appointed panel, the power to issue final decisions on who can have a concealed-carry permit.
The Handgun Permit Review Board has been under heavy scrutiny since Hogan took office, criticized for granting more permits and for its spotty adherence to Maryland’s open meeting laws. Hogan said abolishing the board would not reduce violent crime and called the move “just another in a long series of politically motivated and ill-conceived power grabs.”
The House of Delegates overrode that veto on a party-line vote of 89-49, four more votes than required. The Senate overrode it 30-16, with two more votes than required and minimal debate.
Several Republicans argued that the citizen board, created in 1972, was working well and had never issued a permit to someone who went on to kill someone.
“Why on earth are we changing the law?” asked Del. Jefferson L. Ghrist (R-Eastern Shore). “Based on that, the citizen advisory board, they haven’t made any bad decisions … Could it be that the governor was appointing a bunch of chest-pounding NRA members? Maybe.”
Del. Vanessa Atterbeary (D-Howard) said abolishing the board was common sense, noting that all other decisions by state agencies are appealed to an administrative law judge. That appeals process was created in 1990, nearly two decades after the handgun panel was launched.
