It is obvious that the police are protected if something happens to us because the courts have ruled they have no duty to protect us. We are also screwed by the 4th CC decision (unless that is overturned) so we can't sue over GSR. BUT, what if those who have been denied a carry permit who later become victims of crime were to sue?
I don't want to see anyone be a victim of crime but we all know Marylandistan encourages criminals and allows them to thrive (even in jail). It is only a matter of time before one of us who gets denied will be a victim of some crime.
Suppose the lawsuit is not that the police did not protect us but that they denied us the right to protect ourselves? Most of us have self protection as our GSR and have indicated that the state is dangerous but when we are denied the police are basically telling us self protection is not GSR. I think a lawsuit holding them responsible for claiming you had no need for self protection when you clearly did might have legs.
Anyway, just thinking of a future path while waiting for the MSP to state that I am not as important as they or the governor...
BTW, does anyone know if folks on the board that we appeal to have concealed carry permits?
