SIGNIFICANT SECOND AMENDMENT RULING OUT OF MARYLAND

U. S. District Court Judge George Russell III just issued a ruling in the case of Novotny v Moore, brought by the Firearms Policy Coalition, the Second Amendment Foundation, and other groups as well as several individuals.

Judge Russell granted summary judgement and permanently enjoined the state from enforcing various provisions of their truly psychotic gun control laws.  Specifically thrown out was the prohibition against carrying on private property unless the owner had specifically permitted firearms, carrying "near public demonstrations" and where alcohol is sold for on-site consumption, i.e. bars and restaurants.  

It seems that we have one more federal judge who can read and can perform some critical thinking functions.  That is a good thing.  He is the chief judge of the Maryland federal district.
