ANNAPOLIS, Md. — A bill in the Maryland General Assembly changes the language of existing law in prohibiting an individual from storing a firearm — loaded or unloaded — in a location where an unsupervised minor “could” gain access to it.
Under current law, “a person may not store or leave a loaded firearm in a location where the person knew or should have known that an unsupervised child would gain access to the firearm,” according to a legislative analysis.
The proposal comes as a result of accidents where minors have gained access to a family member’s, friend’s or parent’s firearms and either accidentally shot themselves or others, committed suicide or committed a school shooting, the legislation’s lead sponsor, Delegate Dana Stein, D-Baltimore County, said at the bill’s hearing on Feb. 19.

ReplyDeleteWHEN will you stop cheering these wanna-be Nazi's????????
They will never stop until we MAKE them stop.
Originally this bill was submitted with max punishment of 5yrs and 10thou fine...if a minor thug breaks into your home and breaks into your safe and then commits a crime with your firearm. The penalty for stealing a firearm is 18mnths max, usually dropped for a plea or reduced to 18mnths served. There are no locks or safes that cant be opened YT "locksmith lawyer". The way the law reads, everyone will be guilty. Rights taken, firearms confiscated and destroyed. They must disarm to implement the next phase of their plan.
ReplyDeleteI can understand their concerns
ReplyDeletebut, guardian and parents should train their kids how to use firearms
was not long ago I could carry my guns on a gun rack in the truck....but these commies stop that
Only way I would get in trouble is if I LET my hands expire and was forced to protect myself.

ReplyDeleteWhere a minor "could" access the weapon, but didn't? Does that mean they can get warrants to come see if my firearms are secured? Sounds like that might be the back door purpose of the bill. Of course, they already know who has weapons in their homes due to the registration thing. Registration was just the first step our legislators took on the road to banning and confiscation. I put nothing past our anti-constitution state legislature.
