Maryland gun permit law struck - Washington Times
And quoting the Northwest's Dave Workman:
Thanks for "nailing it" Dave.
I think it's the "fundamental civil right" part that they don't get.
A federal judge has ordered Maryland officials to stop enforcing a law barring state residents from receiving concealed-carry handgun permits unless they provide a good and substantial reason to carry their weapons in public.
U.S. District Court Judge Benson Everett Legg on Monday lifted the stay on his March ruling, which struck down a Maryland law requiring applicants to prove that they need to carry a gun for workplace duties or as protection from a specific threat. The order goes into effect Aug. 7.
Maryland Attorney General Douglas F. Gansler, a Democrat, has appealed the initial ruling and could seek another stay to further delay its enforcement, but gun rights advocates say the judges decision puts them one step closer to finalizing a landmark victory.
And quoting the Northwest's Dave Workman:
We are, after all, talking about a civil right, said Dave Workman, spokesman for the Second Amendment Foundation, a Bellevue, Wash.-based group that provided financial backing for the plaintiff in the lawsuit. You should not have to explain why you want to exercise a fundamental civil right.
Thanks for "nailing it" Dave.
