The Second Amendment does NOT say, “For those who can show they’re in danger, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
The ever-expanding State, once again, treads on citizens’ toes - and rights.
Not even the Chicago loons went THAT far.
Many more ordinary citizens are killed each year than police officers. So by Maryland’s logic the police are enven less able to prove they are endangered and need weapons.
Ping! Dave, I did do a write up on my blog about you and your blog. Thanks for the great conversations over the last year and I hope you can find away to keep it going!

bttt

There's a practical difference between the two situations. In Maryland, the current regime, and its AG, are in agreement with the state's action; in Arizona, they are not.
Isn’t living in Baltimore enough of a danger to qualify for a handgun carry permit?
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
