SB118 (2023) - Criminal Law – Prohibitions on Wearing, Carrying, or Transporting Firearms

[Biggfoot44]

Wonder what would happen if Sheriff's swore people with W&C licenses as posse?

That was actually a thing , back in the day , before 1972 . At least some Sheriffs used 11 month 29 day Deputy Sheriff Commisions as de facto May Issue carry permits . But that was then , and wouldn't work now .

Back then , LEO were required to complete Academy training within 12 months of appointment . But they could go on duty armed , after only a Firearms Qualification . Hence , 11month 29 day commisions , and potentially get the next one the following day and restart the clock .

And along those lines pre Shall Issue ( or even prior to civillian concealed carry at all ) Reserve Officers were a big thing , most especially in Illinois .

Each postage stamp sized town or village had a PD , and half the time , a separate Park Police Dept for the Town Park . And many of them had far more Reserves than regular Ofcs . IL probably had more Reserve Ofc than Maryland issued May Issue Permits . Sure , some of the Reserves were legit seeking to serve their community , but a large part was that was the only path to legal concealed carry .

But when the IL legislature raised the requirements to 40 hours of training annually , that took a big bite out of it .

And FOPA would protect people traveling here to stay in a hotel here, if I'm not mistaken, which would make their "inn, hotel, or other that provides lodging to transient guests" portion of this unlawful (as if we didn't already know it was)

Except maryland already allows a hotel to tell you get out if you have a gun. Under the same rules as any place of business.

Wasn't there a time when USCG was under one department since they mainly engage in S&R and drug law enforcement, but moved temporarily to DoD during war? I could be wrong, but I thought I either read that or saw it in a documentary oh so many years ago.

They were once a part of Treasury, at a time when there were fewer cabinet departments and when interdiction of goods smugglers was done by by the Revenue Cutter Service, a USCG predecessor (along with the U.S. Life Saving Service and the United States Lighthouse Board.) The USCG was under Treasury until 1967, then Transportation until 2003, and now Homeland Security.

Before the passage of the 16th Amendment, import duties were the main source of income of the federal government (along with excise taxes on alcohol and some other goods). Interdiction of smuggling was a significant interest to the Treasury.

Back to topic.

This sucks. Finally in process of getting my W&C so I don’t have to disarm at the Potomac River when coming north to visit my granddaughter. Had to come to MD just to get fingerprinted.

So, now the GA wants to remove my ability to go anywhere in MD.

This needs to be smacked down hard by the USSC.

So which of you Coasties is volunteering to be the test case with standing if this gets rammed through somehow?

2013 when every one flooded the capital for the hearing, they ignored it and said there were only a few and passed it into law. So we got the HQL...

No need for a test case, for many years I have been filling out the MDWC form as a former police officer (federal) noting the US code and have never received a challenge along with submitting my DD214.

Oh I know. They'll do the same thing with this but at least I'll speak my mind to their faces.

I hope that this is being communicated to all the wear and carry classes being taught, and to the instructors to follow up with the students they have taught.

 

[GTOGUNNER]

They can get the info when they take the renewal class.

 

[The Saint]

Oh well, guess I'll just become a criminal like the rest. Bout time I start getting treated like royalty, anyway.

 

[GTOGUNNER]

What they, the mga , fails to realize is that some people have carry permits issued under the old scheme and were issued permits under a good and substantial reason. I will not tell those folks they shouldn’t carry. I haven’t and will not tell them not to carry in Moco either.

 

[MDFF2008]

I mentioned this to a friend who is getting her permit now and her response "No way that passes."

I said "It'll pass with great big smiles on their faces."

 

[TexDefender]

Shame we just can't take the state the SCOTUS, based on the fact the state is intentionally making owning a firearm verboten! The state is going to make it you can't carry a firearm anywhere except while sitting in your car and in inside your house to in short make owning a firearm useless.

This will all be cleared up in 6 years.
