How do they establish that the blanket, all inclusive phrase in the 2nd Amendment “shall not be infringed” does not apply?

I remember reading somewhere that the UN wanted a global gun ban. If true all the more reason to hold on to gun rights.

Art 6 Para 2. "Judges of every State shall be bound thereby,..."

Amendment 2. "Shall not be infringed"...

Impeach them. Try them for violation of Title 18, Sections 241 and 242.

Do it NOW.

"Even if the Second Amendment did apply, it would not invalidate the statute at issue here. CL Sec. 4-203 provides that a person may not "wear, carry, or transport a handgun, whether concealed or open, on or about the person" or "in a vehicle traveling on a road or parking lot generally used by the public, highway, waterway, or airway of the state."

So, even if that means you can only keep a gun at home, it is apparently illegal to drive it from the store to your house?

so if Maryland decided to ban a religion or to outlaw newspapers, that would be permissible?

United Nations Still After Your Guns> sep 2009

The UN General Assembly has been in session, and if typical of the UN, some nasty things are probably in store for American gun owners as a result.

The Citizen's Committee For The Right To Keep and Bear Arms (CCKRBA), in a recent mailing, said that The UN is still actively pursuing the guns you own, and the ones you want to buy.... Rebecca Peters was largely responsible for the disarming of Australians and the associated increase in violent crimes there as a result of criminals retaining and using their firearms in assaultive crimes while the now defenseless law abiding general public turned theirs in for destruction.

I don't know much about this , but do not trust UN to care about our constitution or rights.

I wonder if I can keep an armed bear in my home and also carry one around with me?

My thought, too. Also, how would you practice with your home weapon at a range in order to be truly effective if the state says it’s illegal to transport it? I am finding this out first-hand as I am taking the NRA Personal Protection Class this month and having fired a weapon only once about 15 years ago. Making it illegal to transport a gun to a location where one can actually practice with the weapon effectively disarms an individual...but I guess that’s the point of these idiotic laws.

Good luck with that. Aren’t the folks who vote dem in your state the ones who cheer when somebody’s business is screwed? If so, they’ll probably stick with their favorite dem crook of choice.

Way too many brain-dead here. Baltimore and P.G. county are lousy with them.

Of course “important” people in Maryland will no doubt have the option of concealed carry. Chicago aldermen may carry concealed weapons, while average, “indispensable” citizens may not!

Luckily for me, I live in Texas. I have to go in and renew my concealed carry this month.

Yeah, after 230 years, Congress has yet to acknowledge our 2A Rights in the law.

Attending your class is clearly illegal because you will not be on your property. Even if the owner were to lend you a gun you would have possession of a handgun somewhere other than your home or property.

It’s too bad the western panhandle of Maryland can’t become a part of West Virginia.

"Yeah, after 230 years, Congress has yet to acknowledge our 2A Rights in the law."

It would make an interesting House and Senate Resolution. Getting a role call vote on it before the 2010 elections would help to, as they say down south, south the fly sh*t from the pepper.
