A Pyrrhic Victory

He added that the county law “as intended by the County, effectively bans the concealed carry of a firearm in Montgomery County outside of one’s home or business, effectively nullifying a state granted right to those who have applied for and received a concealed carry permit by the Maryland State Police.” [More]

Take the win, but if you accept that premise you’ve already surrendered.

On the Gunny Side of the Street

Among other restrictions, the law bans the public carry of firearms at designated sensitive locations and institutes a default ban on carrying firearms on private property without express permission from the property owner. [More]

As Clear an ‘F-You’ as They Could Make It

They’re in your face with it. And they don’t care.

So– which gun and ammo companies are going to continue selling to and servicing them?

The Satisfaction That Comes from Being ‘Law-Abiding’

He was “confronted by three teens and two adults” …?

Good thing “assault weapons” are considered unsuitable for self-defense in Maryland! Otherwise, the whole thing might have ended with nobody getting hurt, or at least the right ones…

Just Like the Founders Used to Do

Prohibiting a person from knowingly wearing, carrying, or transporting a firearm onto the real property of another unless the other has given certain permission to the person or the public generally; and prohibiting a person from knowingly wearing, carrying, or transporting a firearm within 100 feet of a place of public accommodation.

So forget a “No Guns” sign on the door. You won’t even be able to drive onto their parking lot and leave your gun locked in your car unless there’s a sign inviting it.
