A federal judge ruled Friday that several of Maryland’s gun carry laws are unconstitutional. They include provisions of where exactly permitted citizens can lawfully carry.
The lawsuit, Novotny v. Moore, was brought by several concealed carry permit holders and gun rights groups. It sued Gov. Wes Moore and other Maryland officials over specific restrictions on where citizens could legally carry. Many of the restrictions were passed in the Guns Safety Act of 2023, formerly known as Senate Bill 1.
U.S. District Judge George Russell III ruled in a summary judgment that three provisions violated the Second Amendment.

So it appears that even a private business must follow the Constitution.
Reminder: If you don't support all available rights for all eligible people, you're doing it wrong.

At last, we agree.
Maryland is our next-door neighbor. Glad to see this monstrosity of a law got struck down. And may other bad laws likewise get struck down.

Great news for gun owners in MD! The court's ruling is a big win for 2A rights. And I couldn't agree more - all eligible people should have access to all available rights. Thanks for sharing the update!
