Good luck, I think it will pass from what I hear. I had always expected a state like WY, ID or MT (which already allows concealed carry without a license in some places), to do it next, but having AZ join AK and VT sounds good too...

All while MD is attempting to go in the opposite direction with a FOID card and a background check and 20 day waiting period for every gun purchase. Not to mention currently no open carry and an almost impossible to have issued concealed carry law.

I've always wondered how MD got to be such a bad state as far as gun rights go, especially given its history...but hopefully, the SCOTUS will be incorporating the second amendment and the worst of the laws there will be eliminated over time...

Self-defense is, gun ownership is not, and, even so, no right is an absolute right. If so, we would not have the death penalty in this country.
