SAF SUES IN MARYLAND OVER HANDGUN PERMIT DENIAL UPDATED 3-5-12

[X-Factor]

Very nice read, now to wait for the other shoe to drop (if there is one).

At this point we just removed one of Maryland's legs...they're kinda hopping around all gimp-like.

AG's office announced they will appeal and seek a stay. http://www.wtop.com/?nid=46&sid=2773265

What's the timeline for a ruling on the staying motion?

Guess Gansler has either decided to fight this or was directed to fight this by MOM. Will be interesting to see how this plays out, both in the courts and in the political sphere as both of them seek higher offices...

Uh,... don't . It gets downloaded an printed by the applicant.

Should that application be printed, 2 sided, or single side per page?
Thanks in advance.

 

[J.Brown]

What's the chances of the appeal being granted and the stay being denied?
Previously in this thread there was talk about it not getting the stay because it was unconstitutional.

Single, just as it appears.

Also, anyone dropped off an application today? Anyone gotten a sense of what's going on now at MSP?

I called the Rockville barrack about getting finger prints and the trooper answering the phone was not in a good mood and dropped me into the automated attendant. I am going by the barracks tomorrow as it is around the corner from my house to see if I can get my prints done tomorrow.

Rockville only does fingerprint cards on Wednesdays - http://icac.mdsp.org/services/fingerprinting.asp

Good to see they are swamped.

Awesome

I think I'm gonna give another donation to MSI this weekend.


My week will be perfect if I find out Frosh or O'Malley went to get tums to settle their heartburn over this...only to find out there's no relief

 

[X-Factor]

Can anyone tell me what will happen if I try and get a personal permit when I already have a restricted one for work?

Channel 4 News just covered the issue as well

I am assuming they will ask Judge Legg for a stay which I get the impression he is unlikely to grant based on his ruling. He found no interest being protected in MD G&S clause which is why he struck it down. I am not sure what grounds they will argue a stay is required.

Then they will have to request a stay from the 4th Circuit. Legg really stuck his neck out and gave us a fantastic ruling and opinion.

Choke on it MOM and Gansler, you both suck.

Yeah, I know but I would like to see the look in their eyes after getting their ass handed to them. I live 1/2 mile from the barracks so its no big deal to go twice. Sometimes they will do it if they aren't busy.

I'm a non Resident military member stationed in Maryland. I'm curious to see how that would affect me as far as an application is concerned.

Not a resident, can't apply here.

Hmm, I could see that. Of course I still purchase here in the state while being military due to exceptions.

I love this bit:

"We disagree with this ruling," Assistant Attorney General Matthew Fader said in a statement. "In light of the very important implications of the ruling for public safety, the defendants will be appealing to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals. The defendants will also be seeking a stay of the ruling pending appeal."

"public safety"

Right.

I wonder if Judge Legg considered that the MSP could not come up with a good and substantial reason for requiring a good and substantial reason.

Prince Frederick MSP fingerprinting/background check: Thurs 0830-1030. Check or MO for $5.00 and 2 fingerprinting cards. Obviously ID is required.

 

[faze]

Oh bloody hell, they're actually appealing it. People still believe this age old law is valid?
