The Judicial Proceedings Committee is hearing SB 889, a bill that would increase the penalty for carrying a firearm without a permit or outside of any restrictions on a permit from up to 3 years to 5 years imprisonment. MSI opposes. #mdpolitics #mdga23
A conviction under current law is already a lifetime prohibitory of legal firearms ownership. This approach will not increase public safety. A similar bill, SB 745, was withdrawn last week. Read why we oppose in more detail below.

We testified against the House crossfile of SB 889, HB 481 last month alongside a strong, diverse panel of opponents to increasing these penalties.

Yesterday a Federal court in WV found 18 USC § 922(k) unconstitutional. 922(k) criminalizes the possession of guns with removed, altered, or obliterated serial numbers. It found no historical tradition of regulation where s/n were required for possession. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… Image
The case is United States v. Price. The docket is available below. courtlistener.com/docket/6334800…

The 4th Circuit issued its mandate today in Call v. Jones, formalizing its instructions to the lower court to dismiss the case as moot. The State is issuing permits in compliance with the Supreme Court's opinion in NYSRPA v. Bruen, leaving nothing at issue in Call. #MDpolitics
That prior order was to grant parties' joint motion to remand the case and dismiss as moot.
