EXCLUSIVE — Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen (R-MT) filed an amicus brief in a lawsuit over a Maryland county law he says is defying the Supreme Court‘s landmark Second Amendment test by establishing “unconstitutional” gun-free buffer zones.
Knudsen led a group of 19 attorneys general in filing the brief Monday at the Virginia-based U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, asking the court to side with plaintiffs who say it is “practically impossible” to carry a gun for personal defense in Maryland’s most populous county, Montgomery County, due to a restrictive gun control law passed in late November.
Yeah…the “law” will DEFINATELY be the ONE law to make bad guys stop and say” oh, gee, I’m not allowed to carry a gun here”. The 20,000 or so local, state and federal laws already on the books haven’t been able to stop criminals, but THIS one will. Such idiots that are elected to office.
It’s sad that “We The People” in Maryland have to rely on Montana and 18 other states to fight for our constitutional right to protect ourselves and our families while away from home.
On another note, it’s been a little over a year since Maryland became a “Shall Issue State”. Can some of you anti 2nd amendment people give us some real statistics on the rise of shootings and murders by conceal carry licensed handgun owners ?
Anyone please ??
