Frequently Asked Questions

What is Maryland's proposed Gun Safety Act?

Maryland lawmakers introduced the Gun Safety Act, which aims to prohibit concealed carry within 100 feet of public places, restrict long gun possession for 18-21 year olds, and allow civil lawsuits against gun manufacturers and ghost gun kit sellers.

How does the Gun Safety Act potentially bypass the Bruen decision?

By designating nearly all public spaces as sensitive areas, the bill technically adheres to 'shall-issue' mandates while practically preventing legal concealed carry, which critics argue circumvents the spirit of the Bruen Supreme Court ruling.

What is Colion Noir's main critique of the Maryland bill?

Colion Noir argues the bill prioritizes the 'feeling' of safety over actual security by restricting carry in public spaces where danger is more likely, rendering permits useless outside private property and disarming law-abiding citizens.

What are 'ghost guns' in the context of firearm legislation?

'Ghost guns' are firearms assembled from kits or components lacking serial numbers, making them difficult to trace and often unregulated. The Maryland bill targets sellers of these ghost gun lower receiver kits.
