Maryland Gun Group Has “Good And Substantial Reason” To Sue State

A new lawsuit has been filed over Maryland’s handgun carry laws, and the state gun group bringing the suit is using Washington, D.C.’s gun laws as an example of how the state should issue concealed carry licenses.
The brief, filed in the Maryland Court of Special Appeals on behalf of Edward Holmes Whalen, argues that the state’s gun laws are unconstitutional and have been superseded by other case precedents.

A Maryland resident must provide a “good and substantial reason” to be granted a concealed carry permit. Maryland is one of 10 states considered a “may issue” state, which means it requires a permit to carry a concealed gun, and granting that permit is at the discretion of local authorities. It’s a restrictive law that prevents most average citizens from being able to obtain a permit, said Sen. Michael Hough (R-Frederick and Carroll).
Right now in Maryland and a few other states, those applying to get a license to carry have to show “good cause,” or in Maryland, a “good and substantial reason” to receive a license. Here are a few reasons that aren’t good enough in Maryland at the moment:

if I want to protect my money/business I can get a permit in maryland, however if I want to protect my life, family etc I can't! what's more important? never waited for or needed a politician, judge, or cop to tell me my God given rights are! you can bet they all got guns and carry them or are protected by someone with one!
