During the spring of 2023, J’den McAdory, in Maryland, has been openly carrying a long gun in protest over Governor (D) Moore’s push for infringements on Second Amendment rights.

For weeks, maybe months, people ignored J’den’s protests. WBALTV interviewed McAdory, and then the governor responded and called McAdory’s brave protests an “act of cowardice.” Whatever else is true, for a young man to stand against the entire state apparatus in Maryland and assert his First and Second Amendment rights is not the act of a coward.

From wbaltv video :

The man, J’den McAdory, told the I-Team on Thursday he’s protesting the governor’s new gun control law. He said he began walking the sidewalks in Severn a few months ago, first with his shotgun strapped to his back, and now, with an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle in his hands.

“I grew up in this community,” McAdory said. “I’m 20 years old. I’ve lived here pretty much my whole life. I really want people to understand: I mean no harm to no one.”

McAdory told the I-Team he has gone out twice a week to remind people of their Second Amendment rights and to protest the governor’s new gun control measures, which take effect on Oct. 1.

WBALTV interviews parents who say they are scared and their children are scared. When they attempt to justify their call for McAdory to stop protesting, in the face of the apparent legality of McAdory’s actions, their only response is: You should not do something which makes people uncomfortable.

After the bill passed, numerous lawsuits were filed against it in federal court. The bill obviously violates the Second Amendment.

The masters didn't want the slaves to know about this freedom thing going around...

The bill is obviously unconstitutional. My understanding of it is that even if you have a concealed carry permit, the law outlaws most places for carry. Which means that you can basically carry only on I-95.
