The banks of the Missisippi will overflow with blood if this is allowed to continue.

Wanna hear something funny? If this gets appealed to the US Supreme Court and the court upholds the law, permit less open carry will be the law of the land. Even in Maryland.

(At least I think so in my non attorney opinion)

It's unlikely the SCOTUS would take this case.

True. But they could if they wanted to and it could be cited if Woollard or Piszczatoski are granted cert.

I don't understand why they get to cherry pick cases. If it (anything) gets appealed to the highest court it SHOULD be heard and ruled on.

That would be physically impossible. Think about it, there are 10 circuit courts that hear appeals. Of these 10 courts, appeals are heard by 3 judge panels. These courts can't even run on time they are so over worked.

Now the Supreme Court is 9 people. You can't have multiple supreme courts because they are supreme. How could 9 people do the work of 10 circuit courts?

Not much to appeal here. The judgement was so short and basically just said the District Court was wrong. Slam dunk, unanimous opinion.

BTW the headline here is a little misleading. MS now becomes an UNLICENSED open carry state. Because the old law basically said that a gun in a holster was concealed, it meant there was no way to legally open carry w/o a CCW. Until now.

The problem here in MD is open AND concealed carry are conflated together, not only in law but in public attitude as represented by our elected officials.

That was one of the first things learned here for this former Virginian used to being trusted with open carry. Tried to bring up the need to seperate open and concealed carry from each other on a "Red Maryland" call-in to a delegate once and got totally slammed.

Go back to America. Why did you come to this gulag?

It wasn't for the climate.
