This video discusses a recent ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit concerning Maryland's "shall issue" handgun permitting regime and the Handgun Qualification License (HQL). The court, sitting en banc, upheld the constitutionality of the HQL on a facial basis, interpreting Supreme Court precedent from NYSRPA v. Bruen, specifically footnote nine, as dispositive for shall-issue regimes. The analysis highlights the dissent by Judge Julius Richardson, who argued the HQL infringes on the Second Amendment's text and lacks historical analogues. The video also frames the case as a potential 'horse race' for future Supreme Court nominations between Judges Allison Rushing and Julius Richardson.
