Supreme Court Decision On New York Gun Law Will Impact Maryland! https://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21pdf/20-843_7j80.pdf.

This controversial ruling by the conservative majority court could have a major impact on Maryland and several other states that have a similar law to New York’s law, which requires people to show “proper cause” to get a license to carry a concealed handgun outside their home.

In Maryland, a person has to go through the Maryland State Police to get a wear and carry permit.🔫

Currently, Maryland’s law says gun owners have to prove the need for concealed carry. Proper cause has been interpreted as meaning their life has to be in danger.

“It’s a constitutional right,” said Mike Doherty, chairman of the board for the Maryland State Rifle and Pistol Association - MSRPA. “I should have the right to protect myself, my choice on how I defend myself, my family.”

Doherty said he applied for a wear and carry permit in Maryland and was denied. Now, he’s hoping that he won’t need one.

Maryland’s Attorney General Brian Frosh said his office will determine if the ruling has any impact on the state’s gun laws.

Meanwhile, Baltimore’s Mayor Brandon M. Scott said in a statement that the decision “puts lives at risk and makes removing guns from our streets even more difficult.” 😂
