Soon To Be Easier To Carry Concealed Weapon in Md.

It's about to become much easier to get a concealed carry permit in Maryland, now that a federal judge lifted a stay.

As of Aug. 7, Maryland will no longer be able to have applicants show a "good and substantial reason" to transport a weapon.

Alan Gura, the lawyer who argued the case that changed Maryland's law, says people who want a permit will no longer be forced to prove why they should be able to exercise a right.

    Somehow they will figure out a way to keep permits away from law abiding citizens...and wind up back in court again...probably "fee" it to death.

    i agree with the change but watching a half hour video is not going to quarlify someone to carry. One should be required to submit proof that they were qualified by an instructor at a range or something. I obtained one immediately upon moving to Florida and with my DD214 and the fact that I had been on Law Enforcement was sufficient. However I know a couple ladies (not picking on the Ladies) who have hardly ever fired a gun and they have a permit. Florida has 950,000 gun permits issues and will be the first state to reach a million. Only 6,200 permits have been revoked out of 2.2 million since 1987. The state feels that most permit holders a honest law abiding citizens. Having lived here for 16 years, I have seem hardly any one charged with inappropriate actions (awaiting the fate for Zimmerman) but have read of several cases where it was good to have someone nearby carrying.

    Good luck with that permitting process!
    In Maryland?
    O'Malley and Brown will find a way around the law and the constitution to deny your rights.
    With LEO support as always.

    There is no constitutional right to carry a CONCEALED gun.
