This video from Guns & Gadgets reports on a significant ruling by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals declaring Maryland's handgun qualification license unconstitutional. The court, referencing the Supreme Court's Bruen decision, found that such licensing schemes lack historical analogues and act as an undue barrier to Second Amendment rights. This ruling has broad implications for similar laws in other states.
Maryland Governor Wes Moore has enacted new gun control legislation, SB 1 and HB 824, in response to the Supreme Court's Bruen decision. These laws significantly restrict where firearms can be carried, including on private property without explicit permission and in numerous public 'sensitive places.' Additionally, HB 824 increases permit fees, raises the minimum firearm possession age to 21, mandates safe storage, and requires two sets of fingerprints for carry permits. A legal challenge has been filed by the Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association and Susannah Warner Kipke, arguing these measures violate constitutional carry rights.
