I've been out of the country for 6 months can somebody fill me in on SB01?

[widderic]

I understand an injunction was filed a while back prohibiting SB01 from nullifying our conceal carry permits when it was supposed to go into effect Oct 1st but that's the last I heard. I'm not currently caught up on what's happened in Maryland the last 6 months regarding that.

Can someone give me some brief cliff notes on any changes? Or is everything still as it was?

Ok thank you, so no real changes. About the 3 things on hold though, does that mean there are still restrictions on privately owned buildings, establishments with liquor licenses, and 1000 ft of demonstrations?

What exactly constitutes a demonstration? A protest? Or could it be a street performer and a crowd of 10 people?

 

[swinokur]

No, it’s as if those portions never passed

My non Legal opinion is a performer is not a demonstration, as a demonstration has some political aspect to it.

 

[Threeband]

Don't the police have to announce that a demonstration is in effect, and give notice that armed people need to skedaddle?

Err, you cannot open carry anymore. Plus guns are banned in a few new places that weren't enjoined in SB1

 

[brianns]

Could demonstrations mean where a permit was issued for a gathering of some kind?

 

[Biggfoot44]

The Original Interpretation ( currently under the Injunction ) = You must be informed by LEO. That an improper demonstration is taking place . and you then have opportunity to move 1,000 feet away .

Under SB-1 , simply be within 1,000 feet . It doesn't have to visable to you , or you even know it's there .

1) NO.
2) NO
3) NO.

4) It DOESN'T MATTER. Enjoined means -

"he was enjoined from using the patent"
