Greetings!
As previously reported, the Federal 4th Circuit Court in Richmond has granted the State's request for a stay of the Maryland District Court's order which set aside the requirement for a "good and substantial" reason for a handgun carry permit in Maryland.
What this means is that nothing has changed in Maryland law; and for the foreseeable future nothing will change until the 4th Circuit rules (hopefully in our favor) on this case.
However, while the Court granted the motion for a stay pending an appeal, the 4th Circuit Court also issued an order expediting the Woollard case. Oral arguments are scheduled to be heard during the October 2012 session of the Court, October 23-26, 2012.
Here in Maryland, Maryland Senate President Mike Miller has let it be known that no "gun legislation" will be considered during the special session.
Sit tight and be patient, this will work its way through the courts. We have waited this long, now is not the time to make mistakes.
At this time, unless you have a "good and substantial" reason for a handgun carry permit or money you can afford to lose, we still recommend that you delay applying for a Maryland carry permit.
Best regards,
John H. Josselyn
Legislative Vice President
