Nineteen states have filed an amicus brief supporting the U.S. Constitution and challenging Montgomery County, Maryland's gun ban in public assembly areas and associated 100-yard buffer zones.

The brief urges the appeals court to reverse a lower court's decision and grant a preliminary injunction against the county's unconstitutional law.

A federal district court in Maryland denied a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction against recent amendments to Montgomery County's code, which impose significant restrictions on carrying firearms in public places. The judge's reasoning, which the speaker criticizes for 'bastardizing' the Bruin decision, suggests that modern firearm regulations can be upheld if they are analogous to historical regulations, even if the specific modern practice was unimaginable at the founding. The plaintiffs, including Maryland Shall Issue, plan to appeal this decision, arguing it makes it virtually impossible for law-abiding citizens to carry firearms within the county.
