[Maryland Hunter]

Maybe you need an attorney to read these things for you.

He made a funny. LOL

He made a funny. LOL

I will take all the help I can get! But not from a lawyer -- they're too damn expensive...

 

[Mr H]

I wonder, while we're sitting around patiently waiting for Judge Legg's decision on the stay, do you think MD. State is doing the same?

Heck, no...

They're busily trying to create just enough regulation and impedence (while leaving just enough wiggle-room for the favored few) to recreate exactly the same situation we already have.

STATEMENT OF FACTS​

A. Maryland Handgun Wear-and-Carry Permits​

Under Maryland law, individuals qualified to own a firearm are allowed, without a permit, to possess, wear, carry, and transport a handgun within their home, business, or any property they own. CL § 4-203(b)(6). Individuals are also allowed, without a permit, to wear, carry, or transport a handgun in public in connection with, among other activities:

• hunting, trapping, a target shoot, formal or informal target practice, a sport shooting event, certain firearms and hunter safety classes, or an organized military activity, CL § 4-203(b)(4);

• the moving of a gun collection for exhibition by a bona fide gun collector, CL § 4-203(b)(5);

Cut and pasted from page 4.

I find if interesting that Gansler first says that long gun open carry is legal in Maryland, now he says that a handgun permit is not required to carry in Maryland as long as you are a bona fide gun collector and moving your collection to an exhibition.

I can see both of those senerios if played out in accordance with the law, ending with an arrest or worse.

Thankfully I'm a bona fide Maryland Designated Collector. So I'm apparently permitted to CCW so long as I have a backpack full of weapons which I intend to exhibit.

Who knew it was so simple?

(Letting bove two posts pass for the moment)

Given the relative difference in quality of the brief in the CA4 , and the sixth grade-ish effort on the District Court Stay , is that a sign that Md is winning at CA4 , and is willing to loose at the Stay , and issue the pending permits with the hope of revoking them later ?

 

[Dogabutila]

I honestly didn't see much difference. Same arguments, but more polish on the CA4 ones. Obviously, that's cause they had more time to refine. It's kind of like the difference between a draft and the final.

So we only need a permit to carry 1 handgun. If we carry several we're GTG

Just after the Woollard ruling. Still waiting for the FL license I applied for in April. They sent me a letter 3 weeks ago, demanding $42 for print processing. Never heard of that charge, but I sent them a check. Must be because my prints were ink (practically mandatory for out of state applicants). Their website didn't mention that charge.

What was the original amount you sent them? I found this on the application. I sent in my FL app beginning of May, nothing back yet.....

FEES: The total fee for the Florida Concealed Weapon or Firearm License is $117.00.
This total actually consists of two
separate fees:
License Fee: $75.00
Fingerprint Processing Fee: $42.00

 

[swinokur]

$117 is the correct amount. And I figured it out without an attorney present.

Imagine that.

Reading this would also lead you to believe that you can wear a handgun to/from the range? (IANAL, this is not advice)

Yep, open or concealed, as long as it is unloaded in a "enclosed" holster

How about if we carry 10 hand guns in a bucket?

All I can say is that it was an oversight on my part. No excuses.

OK It's been four weeks as of today. How long can it take a judge to rule on a stay?

If the 4th Circuit is going to rule on a stay request based on its how merits and not take into account what the District Court does or does not do, why is it taking so long?

 

[swinokur]

No one knows except Judge Legg.

Take your time your honor. Just get it right.

You're in VA. Why the impatience?

They haven't even asked the 4th for a stay.

 

[swinokur]

They haven't even asked the 4th for a stay.

And they can't until Judge Legg rules on his.

Today is the day.. Woot!!
