Greetings!
We are pleased to announce that the United States Court for the District of Maryland has just ruled in the case of Woollard v. Sheridan. It appears that we have won a significant victory. Briefly stated, the Court concluded:
IV. CONCLUSION
The Court finds that Maryland's requirement of a "good and substantial reason" for issuance of a handgun permit is insufficiently tailored to the State's interest in public safety and crime prevention. The law impermissibly infringes on the right to keep and bear arms, guaranteed by the Second Amendment. The Court will, by separate Order of even date, GRANT Woollard's Motion for Summary Judgement and DENY Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgement.
Dated this 2nd Day of March, 2012
/s/
Benson Everett Legg
United States District Judge

PLEASE NOTE: The full impact of this ruling as it pertains to the issuance of permits to carry a concealed handgun in Maryland is not yet clear. There are still legal options open to the State of Maryland and this issue is not yet resolved. The final outcome will probably not be know with any real degree of certainty for many months. We will keep you informed as more details become available. Click here for the entire rulingJohn H. Josselyn Legislative Vice President |
