MD Assembly passed bill that would prevent someone from carrying concealed handguns in some areas
Maryland lawmakers adjourned late Monday from their annual legislative session after approving measures for gun control, abortion rights, a licensing framework to open a recreational marijuana market and a push to expand offshore wind development.
The Maryland General Assembly, which is controlled by Democrats, passed a bill that would prevent someone from carrying a concealed handgun in certain areas. The measure would prohibit people with permits to carry concealed handguns in sensitive areas like school playgrounds, hospitals or polling locations.
“The goal that we have in passing this bill is not to chip away at Second Amendment rights, as hard as it may be for some minority party members to believe. It’s to reduce gun violence of all kinds: gang violence, mass shootings, self-inflicted gunshots,” said Del. Marc Korman, a Montgomery County Democrat who is the House majority leader.
But opponents expressed doubts the measure would stand up to inevitable legal challenges.
“I think that this bill ultimately will be much sound and fury signifying nothing, when it comes down to its final implementation,” said Del. Jason Buckel, an Allegany County Republican who is the House minority leader.
I hope the Mooron has one active brain cell and vetoes the concealed carry changes!
Good people Don’t need ANY gun Laws !!!! Only the Criminals do & the Govt Can’t Control them !!! They get ALL the Guns they want !!!
THESE DEMOCRAT Lawmakers are making MD a more dangerous STATE and making legal gun owners criminals while letting illegal gun owner criminals roam the streets. As a 22 year retired CORRECTIONAL OFFICER they are telling me I cannot protect my FAMILY but POLICE can. Ones that don’t believe I have that right then they don’t know what my job was or what I was subject to the complete time I was locked in those gates or subject to 24 /7 . All I can say is come lock up this 71 yo. I will protect me and my family anytime anywhere.
just another way to destroy MY 2ND AMENDMENT AND NOT INCREASE PENALTIES FOR THR CRIMINALS. Bring back the DEATH PENATY. BRING BACK THE MENTAL HEALTH HOSPITOLS. DEMOCRATS removed these factors and crime sky rocketed.. Where is the common sense laws that reduces crime?
A-holes. I have a carry permit, and now I won’t be able to protect myself..in my line of work, I have had legitimate documented death threats…(no. I’m not a police officer)..oh wait! This new law will keep the bad guys from carrying firearms…NOT. These idiots don’t care that only law abiding people ABIDE by laws…the bad guys don’t give a &h!t

Way to go Democrats!
Thanks for putting an end to CCW holders shooting up polls, hospitals and school playgrounds in MD!
Has there ever been an instance in MD of any one of these locations attacked by a CCW owner?
We’re so much safer now!
