SB1 (2023) - Criminal Law - Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting Firearms - Restrictions (Gun Safety Act of 2023)

[coinboy]

So now that this passed the house, where does it go and is there a public video for it?

Also, does anyone have a list of the delegates that voted for and against the bill?

Picture of the votes:


Del Young certainly acted like he voted against the bill when he talked about how his district is the one where the murders are, but after that grand-standing he certainly decided that he should put his constituents in jail if they walk to the grocery store armed and with a carry permit. Sigh.

Bob: I'm so angry, I could just shoot up a power plant or a water pumping station.
Alice: No-go, Bob. You don't have your concealed-carry permit yet.
Bob: Gosh-darn it, Alice, you're right. Guess I'll have to take the class, get my LiveScan fingerprints, and pay the exorbitant fee before I go blasting away at municipal infrastructure.
Alice: That's right, Bob. In this house, we obey the rules.

Lmao, sadly this is how the morons in the MGA think

SB1 is live on Senate floor now

Smith was supposed to be someone reasonable to deal with who wouldn't pass things knowing they'd likely be struck down just to pass them. Guess he's just another spineless politician. Love it when the military men turn out to be traitors to their country

Waldstreicher is such a douche.

Even attempting to believe the Dems in the MGA is the first mistake. They are all crooked and love shoving unconstitutional mess down our throats.

That was someone's opinion, apparently it was wrong.
These people are not reasonable nor do they give two sh*ts about our rights or The Constitution.
The sooner people realize that the better off we'll be.

God I wish they would actually call out the BS. As much as the Republican side tries they keep repeating the same stuff that has proven in the last 90 days to do absolutely nothing. It like the US house introduces bills that will go no where when we dont have both houses and the pres. But do nothing when they have it all.

Call the red headed soy boy out for the bs. Bring up why an armored truck guard can go in a bar for dinner with his gun. Call out that cops break the law 12 times more than legal permit holders.

For fvcks sake just say "hey red headed soy boy, just admit you dont like the common person to have the ability to protect themselves. And you wrote this law for no reason other than stopping people from carrying guns, in spite of bruen"

Come now the plaintiffs...

 

[sleev-les]

They can eat a bag of ****s. As much as I’m looking forward to a court slap down, I’m not optimistic on the speed they will use to make this right. Every Dem should have to use their own wallets to pay for the defense and when found unconstitutional they should be removed from office for breaking their oath. Crooked Pricks.

SB1

The following information is for informational purposes only and contains opinions. Some material may not be entirely accurate at the time of reading due to modifications of the law, bill, or other. This is not legal advice and should not be regarded as a news source. Always consult an attorney or your state's attorney's office.

Today, the Maryland passed SB1 with a 93 Vote Yay and a 42 vote Nay. The next step is the Governor who is expected to pass this bill. There were several amendments that were introduced and not passed and one which was passed:

1. There was an amendment to remove the word "alcohol" from the bill. The argument was that the law already prevents anyone with a carry permit to carry a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or a drug. This amendment did NOT pass.

What this means: All persons who have a carry permit are prohibited from entering ANY establishment with an alcohol license for onsite consumption. This includes any eating establishment.

1. There was an amendment to allow for concealed carry onto private property without the need of the property owner to give permission of the person entering. This amendment did NOT pass.

What this means: A person with a carry permit cannot enter any dwelling location without asking permission of the property owner first. Anyone entering someone else's residence must first notify the person that they are carrying a firearm. So, if you are a realtor, this applies to you as well. You must get the permission of every homeowner that you are showing houses for to carry your firearm onto their property. What this also means that if someone rents a property from a property owner, the property owner must give permission to the renter to have a firearm on the property that they rent from the property owner.


3. An amendment was introduced to allow security officers, armored car persons, correctional officers and railroad police officers to be exempted from this bill. This amendment PASSED.

What this means: Security guards, armored vehicle employees, railroad police, and correctional officers do not have to comply with the regulations of SB1 in relation to sensitive locations. Police do not have to comply with SB1. Interestingly, the bill does not specify whether or not a security officer must be on duty at the time or employed by the property that they are entering. This does not exempt states attorney's, judges, and attorney's from this bill.

1. An amendment was introduced to direct the Maryland State Police to conduct a study what the statistics are in regards to handgun permit holders committing crimes. This amendment DID NOT pass.

What this means: There will not be a study directed by this bill to determine what crimes are committed by handgun permit holders.

1. An amendment was introduced to allow persons who have been victims of domestic violence who currently have a protective order in place to be exempted from the sensitive location requirements. This amendment DID NOT pass.

What this means: Persons who are victims of domestic violence, who have a carry permit, and who have an active protective order are not exempt.

Sensitive locations/Prohibited places:

1. A live theater performance
2. A musical concert or performance for witch members of the audience are required to pay or possess a ticked to be admitted
3. A fair or carnival
4. A race track
5. A video lottery facility
6. Within 100 yards of a place of public gathering, demonstration, or event which requires a permit from local, governing body is being held. If signs posted by a law enforcement agency conspicuously and reasonably inform members of the public that the wearing, carrying and transportation of a firearms are prohibited.
7. Cannot trespass with a firearm on any property that prohibits carry of a firearm (by a posted notification or sign or by verbal trespass notification)
8. Any location that has an alcohol license (this includes all eating establishments that hold an alcohol license regardless if there is separate seating from the bar area.)

It does allow for possession (transportation) during:

1. an organized shooting activity for educational purposes
2. a historical demonstration using a firearm or
3. a hunting or target shooting
4. a licensed security guard through the Maryland State Police

It still does not allow an exemption at the above prohibited places for:

1. Licensed special police officers
2. Private detectives
3. Business owners
4. Judges
5. Attorneys
6. Pharmacists
7. Veterinarians

SB760 - The Security Guard Bill
SB760 has been passed. This bill will make it mandatory for anyone providing a "security function" to be:

1) Licensed by the Maryland State Police as a security guard
2) Must be certified by the Maryland Police and Corrections Training Commission
3) This applies to all companies that either are security companies or employers of security guards (in house security).
4) There is a training requirement of 12 hours for initial training and 8 hours of in service training required per renewal period.

HOWEVER, there was an amendment that was introduced and approved "AMENDMENT NO. 2 On page 3, in line 17, strike the second “or”; and in line 20, after “City” insert “; OR (3) AN UNARMED EMPLOYEE OF A BAR, TAVERN, OR RESTAURANT”." Therefore, it appears that unarmed bar employees "bouncers" will NOT be impacted by this bill.

4) It will require 10 hours of initial training 8 hours of in service prior to security guard license renewal
5) All private locations that employs security guards will be required to submit use of force reports on all use of force situations by security personnel
6) Will require any location that employs less than 5 security officers to have liability insurance of at least 500,000 with errors and omissions, completed work, and specific coverage for security personnel, if employed over 5 security personnel must hold insurance of at least 1 Million with specific coverage for security personnel, completed work, and errors and omissions.
