Gun owners in Maryland will no longer be required to prove that they have a “good and substantial reason” to carry a concealed firearm under a new order issued by Gov. Larry Hogan following a recent Supreme Court ruling.

RINOs have an ulterior motive for everything they do.
Wouldn’t that be a Maryland law? Wouldn’t it be up to the legislature to suspend it?
Logan was correct. This is the legal ruling.
So I can go get a carry permit today?
Gonna try to run for POTUS.
This is his attempt to seem Trump-like even though he despises Trump and undermined him every chance he got.
Wow!
Gonna have to check this out.
Maryland is and always be a liberal hellhole minus St Mary’s county which has been red forever.
Hogan is a left of center Liberal pretending to be a Republican.
Ha ha, I'll believe hogan does something right when MD joins 31 other states and recognizes the right of other US citizens with carry permits the OK to carry in MD.
Today, if I drive through MD with my legal pistol and get stopped by a cop, it is go directly to jail, do not pass go and expect a felony charge that will void your right to carry...anywhere.
i avoid that state if at all possible. Illinois too.
Let’s set aside the fact that ANY permit requirement is a clear infringement upon the right recognized in the 2A.
New Jersey’s “justifiable reason/need” is no longer valid, so they will try hard to disqualify applicants under other headings.
In any case, “good character” disqualifications may include any person who:
has been convicted of a crime or a disorderly persons offense involving an act of domestic violence;
is drug dependent;
has been confined for a mental disorder to a hospital or mental institution;
is a habitual drunkard;
suffers from a physical defect or disease which would make it unsafe to handle firearms;
is an alcoholic;
falsifies information on the application form;
is under the age of 18;
is a person where the issuance would not be in the interest of public health, safety or welfare;
is a person subject to a court order under the Domestic Violence Act prohibiting firearm possession;
is a person who as a juvenile was adjudicated delinquent for an offense which, if committed by an adult, would constitute a crime and involved the unlawful use or possession of a weapon, explosive or destructive device or was one of the offenses enumerated under the No Early Release Act (NERA), which include murder, aggravated manslaughter, manslaughter, vehicular homicide, aggravated assault, disarming a law enforcement officer, kidnapping, aggravated sexual assault, sexual assault, robbery, carjacking, aggravated arson, burglary, extortion, booby traps in CDS manufacturing or distribution facilities, strict liability for drug induced deaths, terrorism, possessing chemical weapons, biological agents, or nuclear devices, and first degree racketeering;
is a person whose firearm is seized pursuant to the “Prevention of Domestic Violence Act of 1991,” C.2C:25-17 et seq. and whose firearm has not been returned;
is named on the consolidated Terrorist Watchlist maintained by the Terrorist Screening Center administered by the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
any person who is subject to a court order prohibiting the custody, control, ownership, purchase, possession, or receipt of a firearm or ammunition issued pursuant to the “Extreme Risk Protective Order Act of 2018,” P.L.2018, c.35 (C.2C:58-20 et al.).
OK, this is the one: “is a person where the issuance would not be in the interest of public health, safety or welfare”...you must prove that issuance would be in the public interest, or they must prove otherwise?
Another...”is an alcoholic”...If you’re a member of AA, that’s an admission that you’re an alcoholic and you can be denied out of hand. Even if you haven’t had a drink in ten years. They’ll always be looking for a way to deny your rights.
