Maryland removed the good and substantial reasons for gun carry

Source: Maryland state police

Last month, the U.S. Supreme Court struck down a provision in New York law pertaining to handgun permitting that is virtually indistinguishable from Maryland law. In light of the ruling and to ensure compliance with the Constitution, I am directing the Maryland State Police to immediately suspend utilization of the ‘good and substantial reason’ standard when reviewing applications for Wear and Carry Permits. It would be unconstitutional to continue enforcing this provision in state law. There is no impact on other permitting requirements and protocols.

After the Bruen case at scotus New jersey was the first to fold to gun lovers, then Mass, now Maryland. Maryland dropped the good and substantial requirement for a gun carry permit, it is now a true shall issue state. Sure it has a few hoops to jump thru like classes and finger prints, but now gun lovers will be able to go every where with their beloved guns.

New York and Hawaii are the only hold outs, and New York basically accepted it but added a lot of restrictions.

If so would this seem to protect gun bearers demonstrating on public space in front of the home of anyone against whom they have a grievance.

The high court justices who are not willing to subject themselves to the rule they have focused upon Americans may have to move to gated communities.

But then again you know all of our overloads in both parties have their permit to carry already or tax payer provided armed security.
