"Maryland Handgun law has done nothing to stop criminals. And when caught in violation of every gun law Maryland has, the charges get dropped or go without penalty anyway.".....this was posted yesterday on Book of Face by a random.
Is it true that these charges get dropped? Is that just a "only in Baltimore" they get dropped due to the local "persuasion" of that town, or should you Marylanders be concealed carrying everyday anyway since the prosecutor's are so lax?
I'm generally curious to your opinions on this. If they are not prosecuted for illegally concealed carrying, I would take that as a sign everyone can conceal carry. If they do not prosecute Baltimore citizens, but prosecute some guy in Hagerstown or Frederick that's carrying and he isnt a felon, that should be some type of civil rights violation I would think.
Thoughts?
