Professor Michael Krauss explains a federal court ruling in Maryland that struck down the 'good and substantial reason' requirement for obtaining a permit to carry a firearm. The ruling, stemming from a case where a permit was not renewed for the same reason it was initially granted, asserts that a constitutional right, like the Second Amendment right to bear arms for self-defense, does not require a 'good and substantial reason' beyond the right itself. The state's appeal is expected to argue that the Second Amendment right only applies within the home, a claim Krauss refutes with a logical syllogism based on the right to self-defense.
