Alan Gura and the Second Amendment Foundation have filed a suit challenging Maryland’s draconian gun laws. The suit was filed on behalf of Raymond Woollard, whose renewal was denied because he could not show he is subject to “threats occurring beyond his residence.” Woollard originally obtained a permit after a fight with an intruder in his home.
Briefly quoting the Seattle Pi news item linked above:
“Under Maryland law, Woollard is required “to be clairvoyant and somehow prove” that he is likely to become a crime victim, Gura said. “We believe that if the state wants to deny (Woollard) a permit, then it bears the burden of proving that there’s a good reason to deny him that permit.”
Anti gun and therefore pro-crime activist State AG Doug Gansler says the Maryland law is Constitutional and all that. Of course.
And finally, Handgun Control, Inc., DBA as the Brady Center to Promote Prevent Gun Violence was also quoted. Not that HCI rep ever says anything quotable but those interested can check out the news item for horse laughs.
