Gov. Wes Moore signs Maryland Firearms Safety Act of 2012
A three-judge panel of the U. S.
Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit just struck down the Maryland
Firearms Safety Act of 2012 in a 2-1 ruling. The judges cited the Bruen
Decision in their decision.
Under
the law an applicant to own a handgun had to fill out a form, pay a
fee, and wait until some government official got around to ruling
whether or not that person was allowed to own a gun. This process
could, and often did, take 30 days. The judges could find no compelling
historical law requiting advanced permission from the government before
owning a gun.
The state A. G. declined to comment on whether or not the state would appeal to SCOTUS.
