Federal Appeals Court Grants Stay In Md. Gun Case


Maryland can continue enforcing its gun permit law requiring residents to show a "good and substantial reason" to carry handguns until a federal appeals court decides the matter, the court said Wednesday.

The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond granted a stay in the case as requested by Maryland Attorney General Doug Gansler. The court also directed the case to be expedited, tentatively scheduling arguments during a session set for Oct. 23-26.

"The proceedings have been expedited and the state will present its arguments to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in late October," said David Paulson, a spokesman for Gansler. "In the meantime, the state will continue to follow and enforce this law as passed by the General Assembly."

Why are they fighting this. Like Del McDermott said-- it is okay to protect money but not humans? Their priorities are screwed up royally. Have these people such low values than they place more importance on money than life?

O'Malley is doing everything in his abuse of power to keep innocent tax paying citizens from defending themselves against the very low life's he is supporting from cradle to grave.
