Maryland senator introduces “can’t carry anywhere” bill

While the Democrat-controlled state legislature in Maryland didn’t immediately respond to the Supreme Court’s decision in Bruen, lawmakers are coming after the right to bear arms with a vengeance in the new year. The very first bill filed in the Maryland State Senate this year, ironically titled the “Gun Safety Act of 2023”, would create a number of new “gun-free zones” where firearms are banned; so many, in fact, that the right to carry would exist largely only in theory.

Sen. Jeff Waldstreicher, a Democrat from Montgomery County, is the author of Senate Bill 1, which makes it a misdemeanor for anyone (concealed carry holder or not) to carry a firearm within 100 feet of a “place of public accommodation”; a phrase so broadly defined that it would be virtually impossible for those with a concealed carry license to carry in almost every community in the state.

(1) an inn, hotel, motel, or other establishment that provides lodging to transient guests; (2) a restaurant, cafeteria, lunchroom, lunch counter, soda fountain, or other facility principally engaged in selling food or alcoholic beverages for consumption on or off the premises, including a facility located on the premises of a retail establishment or gasoline station; (3) a motion picture house, theater, concert hall, sports arena, stadium, or other place of exhibition or entertainment; 4) a retail establishment that: (i) is operated by a public or private entity; and (ii) offers goods, services, entertainment, recreation, or transportation; or (5) an establishment: (i) 1. that is physically located within the premises of any other establishment covered by this subtitle; or 2. within the premises of which any other establishment covered by this subtitle is physically located; and (ii) that holds itself out as serving patrons of the covered establishment.

  1. So basically any place where a thug might just decide to go in and job won’t be able to defend themselves. Sounds about right take away any right of the law-abiding citizens.

  2. I will turn criminal they are never sent to jail, so I will carry and have no punishment, since they will never charge me and let me out to roam the streets with firearms , I will be protection from fellow criminals.. MD will not build new prisons and they are losing POLICE for my protection.
