As the head of the Maryland State Police Licensing Division, Jack McCauley decided what would qualify as a “good and substantial” reason to obtain a handgun permit on a case by case basis. Maryland is a “may issue” state — meaning the ultimate decision on whether to issue a concealed carry permit is left to a government official.
I'm unimpressed, as the head of the MSP he had a duty to the citizens he served to study the facts and do the right thing, he chose to play politics with the safety and well being of those he swore to protect. His 11th hour religious conversion is a little to late....Sounds like a campaign is coming.
Or he could be quite honest with us. I'll take him at face value and give him the benefit of the doubt until he proves otherwise.
It's not impossible to believe he was never around "gun enthusiasts" growing up, and obviously the entire structure of the MSP and state government is anti-gun, especially during his formative years as a trooper.
Regardless how he got here, he comes off as sincere, and informed on the issues.
